The papaya sweet is a very popular traditional dessert, and in the state of Yucatan it is served with the now typical edam cheese, which makes it special within Yucatecan cuisine. Making this treat is not complicated at all, only chopped papaya, sugar, vanilla, lime, and fig leaves are needed. The recipe varies according to who prepares it, so often extra ingredients are added according to the seasoning and taste of the cook. In general, the process is simple, the pieces of papaya are boiled in syrup, and it is in the plating where the magic happens, adding grated edam cheese on top, giving that combination of sweet and salty with different textures that delights every palate.
