Cuban Papaya Milkshake (Batido de Fruta Bomba)
Let's turn Mami's favorite fruit, fruta bomba, into a creamy, nostalgic milkshake. This classic Cuban papaya milkshake comes together with just 5 ingredients: ripe papaya, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and ice. It’s sweet, refreshing, and blends up in under 10 minutes. Bonus: it pairs perfectly with a salty Cuban sandwich.

- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar (to taste)
- 1/2 cup crushed ice
Instructions

With a sharp knife, cut the papaya in half lengthwise. Scrape out the black seeds from the center of both halves using a spoon.

Slice and cut the papaya into cubes, then peel the skin off from the cubes with a knife. If you prefer to peel the skin off before cutting into cubes, you do you!
