Recipe - Paw Paw Pie With Coconut Ice Cream

14 Paw paw peeled and cut into
1cm dice
One fourth Finely minced stem ginger
1 tablespoon Honey
240 g Sweet pastry
100 g Puff pastry
1 Egg for eggwash
160 g Creme fraiche
160 g Cream of coconut
100 ml Stock syrup

COCONUT ICE CREAM
200 ml Milk
200 ml Cream of coconut
6 Yolks
10 g Sugar

Place the honey into a frying pan and toss in three quarters of the paw paw
and the stem ginger in it. When the paw paw has been coated with the honey
allow to cool.

Roll out the sweet pastry to 3mm thickness. Use to line 4cm deep 8cm wide
tartlet tins. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Meanwhile preheat
the oven to 180C.

Place the paw paw into the lined tins. Roll out the puff pastry and cut
with a lattice cutter. Place over the top of the tart and brush with egg
wash and rest for 15 minutes. Cool in a cold place. Bake for 25 minutes
until nicely coloured.

Meanwhile, liquidize the remaining papaya and pass through a fine sieve.
Add 100ml of stock syrup. Blend together the cream of coconut and the creme
fraiche. Place the two sauces on the plate and marble them together.

Now make the ice cream. Boil the milk and cream of coconut. Mix the yolks
with the sugar. Pour the boiling liquid onto the yolks, stirring
vigorously. Mix and return to the heat. Cook out until it coats the back of
a spoon. Do not reboil.

Take off the heat and pass through a fine sieve. Freeze the mixture in an
ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Alternatively pour it into a large freezerproof bowl, cover and freeze
until almost set. Transfer to a food processor and whisk until it is creamy
and all the ice crystals have broken down. Return the mixture to the bowl,
cover and place in the freezer again. Repeat this process twice then freeze
the ice cream until firm. Place on the hot pies and serve with coconut ice
cream. Garnish with mint.
