Ingredients

1 medium (ripe but firm) Papaya
100 grams Cream cheese
1 tablespoon Honey
1 small (juice and zest) Lime
10 leaves (chopped) Fresh mint leaves
0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
20 pieces (small, round or square) Crackers

Directions

Step 1

Peel the papaya, remove the seeds, and slice it into thin, bite-sized pieces (oval or half-moon shapes work best). Set the slices aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with honey, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Lay the crackers out on a serving plate. Spread a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the cream cheese mixture onto each cracker.

Step 4

Place one slice of papaya on top of the cream cheese layer.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves and a very light pinch of chili flakes over the papaya slices for flavor and garnish.

Step 6

Repeat until all crackers are topped and ready to serve. Adjust sea salt as needed for balance.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, creamy, and slightly spicy flavors!
