Papaya cream with Creme de Cassis

Some years ago this dessert was on fashion in Brazil, most of the nice restaurants started to offer it. Now you can still eat it in the "Churrascarias", the Brazilian-style steak houses that you also find in other countries. Of course, with Brazilian papaya the dish is even better...



Ingredients:

1 ripe papaya
1 scoop vanilla ice cream 
1 tbs Creme de Cassis (can be substituted for a non-alcoholic syrup)

Directions:

Peel papaya and remove seeds. Cut in small pieces. Blend with the ice-cream until smooth. Pour into dessert bowls. Add Creme de Cassis over the cream and serve.
