Papaya Pie – An Antiguan Recipe
Antiguan Papaya Pie
Papayas aren’t overly sweet fruits. Their firm but pliable texture and mild flavor typically make them great for punches and salads. But we found this unique pie recipe from the Island of Antigua. Their Papaya Pie is a fluffy, mousse textured dessert that’s a simple adventure you can enjoy with the freshest ingredients only in the summer.

Hi there,
I would love to feature your Papaya Pie recipe on our website. Would you be interested in working with us here at The Daily Meal? We would link back and credit your site of course, but it would be in our recipe format. It’s for a Slideshow called “ The 50 Best Pies In Every State” which tend to do very well. We have a deadline for this coming up so please let me know at your earliest convenience! I would need a high-rez img of the pie too.
Thanks!
