3 cup papaya (ripe, fresh) and peeled, and cut into cubes
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cup ice cubes
1 quart evaporated milk [1 liter]
½ cup sugar (white, granulated) (might not use it all) or brown sugar, as I prefer

Put the papaya cubes, vanilla, ice, evaporated milk, and half of the sugar in the blender and keep on at high speed until the ice is blended.
Try and add more sugar if needed, blend for a few more seconds until it has a silky consistency.

Serve immediately, once blended it will become bitter once it starts warming up.

For a vegan shake, use soy milk, or your preferred milk substitute.

If you want a lighter alternative, use skim milk in place of evaporated milk.
