Good to know

Sometimes it should just be simple, fresh and nicely served straight from the fruit. This papaya boat is easy to make and still looks special.

Swaps

Low-fat quark → skyr (similar protein content, often slightly milder flavour). Honey → date paste (more natural sweetness plus a little fibre). Pistachios → walnuts (more omega-3 fatty acids). Papaya → berries on quark (usually more fibre, a little tarter).

Allergens

Contains milk and tree nuts. Easy for children to spoon, but honey isn't suitable for babies under 12 months; in pregnancy, ripe papaya in normal amounts is generally fine.
