INGREDIENTS:
Preparation:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the paw paws in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Discard the seeds. Scoop out the paw paw flesh and place it in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you obtain a smooth puree. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them lightly. Add the sugar to the eggs and whisk until the mixture is smooth and pale.
Gradually pour the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the egg and sugar mixture while continuously whisking. Stir in the paw paw puree, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish or individual ramekins. Place the baking dish or ramekins in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the pudding is set and slightly golden on top.
Allow the pudding to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a mint leaf before serving.
