What is Fresh Cream? Where to buy Fresh Cream?
- Fresh Cream is a dairy product, containing 18 – 25% fat from milk. This type of cream has a thick texture and is commonly used to make desserts like ice cream or to add a creamy, rich consistency to soups and curries.
- Because Fresh cream has a relatively low fat content, it is not used for whipping to make frosting for cakes.
- You can buy Fresh cream at baking supply stores, import shops, or large supermarkets. Avoid purchasing Fresh cream through online orders as the cream may spoil easily if not stored properly during transportation.

Completion
Prepare a mold and pour the blended papaya mixture into it, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and place it in the freezer refrigerator for about 4 hours.
After that, take the ice cream out and blend it again in a blender to make it really smooth; when frozen, it won’t have ice crystals, and then pour it back into the mold.
At this point, cover it tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the freezer overnight for about 8 – 10 hours until the ice cream is firm, and it’s done.

How to choose fresh ripe papaya
- Pay attention to the stem of the fruit; if the stem has turned yellow, then it is naturally ripe papaya and should be purchased.
- Choose papayas that have yellow skin with small green speckles or have yellow-orange skin.
- Select papayas that are elongated and long, as they are denser and taste better.
- Natural ripe papayas have a light, distinctive fragrance; when gently pressed, the skin feels uniformly soft.
- Do not choose papayas with green stems as they may be unripe, artificially ripened, or treated with unhealthy chemicals.
- Do not buy duck-billed papayas, unripe papayas, or ripe papayas with black spots on the skin.
