INGREDIENTS

FOR THE CRUST
100 g butter, melted
1 cup flour (130g)
½ cup icing sugar mixture (60g)
¼ tsp baking powder
zest from 1 lime – approx. 1 tsp
pinch sea salt
FOR THE FILLING
½ cup mashed papaya (125g)
cup lime juice (80ml)
2 eggs
¼ cup caster sugar (60g)
2 tbsp cornflour (20g)
zest from 1 lime – approx. 1 tsp
¼ tsp sea salt

METHOD

1

Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly coat a 20cm x 20cm pan with cooking spray, then line the base and two sides with a single strip of baking paper.

2

In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients for the crust (flour through salt) and mix well. Add melted butter and stir to create a soft dough. Turn dough into the prepared pan and press evenly across the base.

3

Par-bake the crust for 12 mins until just golden. While it’s baking, make the filling.

4

Add papaya and lime juice to a blender jug and puree until smooth. Add remaining filling ingredients (eggs through salt) and pulse to combine.

5

Remove pan from the oven, pour filling over the hot crust and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 18 – 20 mins, until bars are puffed and firm to the touch in the centre.

6

Allow papaya bars to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before running a knife around the edge of the slice and using the paper to lift it out onto a rack. Cool completely, then cut into bars to serve.
