  • Add heavy whipping cream, brown sugar, and chili-lime seasoning to the blender or food processor; blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.

  • Place the mixture into an airtight bowl and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.

  • Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes.

  • Add chopped strawberries in the last 5 minutes of churning.

Cook's Note:

For an unusual topping and a way to make the most of your papaya, rinse the seeds and spread them out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake at 170 degrees F (77 degrees C) for 2 hours or until the seeds are dry and resemble black peppercorns. Grind the seeds in a pepper grinder (coffee grinder works good too) and sprinkle over the top of the ice cream.
