    Ideal Summer Breakfast!

    "Papaya boat again? Why can't we have Luchi Alur Dum Debjani like a normal Bengali family? Why do you make all these fruity things whenever possible or not possible and force us to eat?"

    Well, I ignored Mehebub's tantrum while serving breakfast. After all both, I and Pasta love the Papaya boat! Even Coffee also eats a few pieces from it sans honey and grapes. Surprisingly after the tantrum, Mehebub had ½ of the boat.

    Well, I must mention, I do use tricks to make them eat fruits as much as humanly possible. Though Pasta is a non-fussy eater, however, she is badly influenced by her father.

    Papaya Boat; the summery breakfast!

    A healthy, tasty, and easy-to-make Papaya Boat is a family favorite, especially during the summer at my place. Pasta takes a small portion of it before going to school. She mostly leaves home before us. Once she is out we eat a part of the boat and store another portion for her which she prefers to have after returning home. I actually make Papaya boats quite frequently at home.

    %Papaya Breakfast Bowl

    Papaya boat is basically a Fruit cocktail served with fresh cream or coconut cream or yogurt or ice cream. the cocktail is served on a boat of ripe papaya. This chilled delicacy is easy to make, and perfect for breakfast and even as a dessert.

    Ingredients

    I make it with ingredient variations based on the need. Being said that when I make it for breakfast I use a mixture of Yogurt and cream as the base. When I make it for dessert I use Ice cream or at times coconut cream. However, I prefer the Papaya boat prepared with a mixture of Yogurt and cream. I use honey as a sweetener. Instead of honey, you can use sugar also or completely replace it.

    Last but not least, if fresh fruits are not available use a tinned fruit cocktail to make the breakfast fruit bowl.

    Instructions

    It takes hardly a few minutes to assemble the Boat however, you need to have ample fruits available at home while making it. Also, the fruits should be chilled. In addition, you need to make it at least 30 minutes well in advance considering the chilling time needed.

    Substitutions

    • To make the Papaya breakfast bowl vegan, use coconut cream and coconut milk instead of cream and yogurt;
    • Replace honey with coconut sugar for a vegan Papaya boat.
    • You can use an artificial sweetener instead of honey.

    Variations

    • Various fruits- Use fruits to fill the papaya boat based on availability and preference;
    • Deluxe- You can add some nuts for crunch and heavy cream or coconut cream

    Storage

    To fully enjoy the taste of a papaya boat, it is recommended to consume it fresh. However, if you prefer a cooler option, you may refrigerate it for about an hour. This will enhance the flavor and texture of the papaya, providing a more satisfying experience. Regardless of your preference, be sure to indulge in this tropical fruit for its many health benefits such as aiding digestion, promoting skin health, and boosting immunity.
