Baked Papaya with Coconut Cream

Marshallese baked papaya with coconut cream was a sweet delight. I had never baked papaya before and it was absolutely delicious. This is another very simple recipe from the Marshall Islands that uses readily available ingredients. I was reluctant about the amount of time which is about an hour to bake the papaya but it is the correct amount of time. It uses a bit of sugar to add the sweetness making a caramelized sauce as it bakes. A wonderful dessert for that Island flair. It also makes your kitchen smell amazing at it bakes. Enjoy!
