Pour the papaya cream evenly into serving glasses or small dessert bowls.

Drizzle the cassis liqueur generously over each portion, garnish with fresh mint, and serve immediately.
💡 Chef's Tip
Choose a deeply ripened papaya with bright orange flesh for the sweetest, most flavorful result. The lime juice balances the sweetness — don't skip it.
