Ingredients

• Papaya cubes: Loaded with vitamins and antioxidants, the vibrant tropical fruit papaya is the main ingredient for this recipe. Ensure you use fresh, sweet papaya to make this shake creamy and delicious.

• Chilled milk: Milk serves as the main liquid for this milkshake recipe, providing a creamy and refreshing base while enhancing the smoothness of the shake.

• Vanilla ice cream: A touch of vanilla ice cream adds thickness, luscious creaminess, and a hint of vanilla flavor to this tempting shake recipe.

• Sugar: A bit of sugar is added to sweeten the shake and balance the natural tartness of papaya. However, adding sugar is optional; you can also use other sweeteners of your choice.

• Cardamom powder: It infuses this milkshake with a warm and aromatic touch, complementing the fruity notes.

• Rose syrup: Gives a delicate and floral fragrance to this milkshake.

• Nuts and dried fruits: Adding a handful of nuts and dried fruits gives this shake a delightful texture, crunch, and a medley of flavors. In this recipe, I have used almonds, cashews, tutti frutti, raisins, and glazed cherries.

Variations

Banana Papaya Shake

If you prefer to skip ice cream, add 1 large frozen banana to the milkshake for added thickness and sweetness.

Tropical Mango-Papaya Shake

Combine mango and papaya by adding 1 cup of chopped ripe mangoes to the blender along with other ingredients. You can also use mango ice cream instead of vanilla.

Coconut Papaya Shake

What type of milk is best for a Papaya Milkshake?

Traditionally this papaya milkshake is made with regular full cream milk. Fat from the whole milk makes this papaya milkshake truly taste rich and creamy. However, you can also use semi-skimmed milk for making this. Or, you can choose any milk of your choice.   

Here are some milk options that taste well in this papaya shake:

• Cashew Milk  

• Coconut milk  

• Unsweetened almond milk  

• Unsweetened soy milk

Can I store leftover papaya shake?

Yes you can store this shake, but I wouldn’t suggest storing this papaya shake. It loses its flavor and texture after 3-4 hours. So try to make it only when you are planning to drink it. 

But, if you have to store it, then you can store it for up to 3-4 hours in the refrigerator. To avoid lumpy texture, make sure to stir it well before drinking.
