Sweet Rice with Papaya and Banana (Papaya New Orleans)

Rinse the rice in a cold water pan, put it on the fire and let it cook for three or four minutes

Drain and rinse the rice under cold water, then put it back on the heat with milk, butter, vanilla, and salt

After 10 minutes of cooking, add 150 g of sugar

Cover the pan and let it finish cooking over low heat without stirring

When the rice is cooked, add the egg yolks one by one, mashing them with a fork

Grease a mold bigger than a liter and pour in the rice, pressing it down slightly

Leave it to one side, peel and cut the papaya into slices, dividing each slice into two parts and placing them in a pan with all the papaya juice and warming them up

Peel the bananas, cut them into longitudinal strips, place them in a bowl, dusting with sugar and drizzling with rum

Remove the rice from the mold, placing it in a round plate and around it place the papaya slices

In the center, place the banana strips in the shape of a pyramid

Drain the papaya juice and add some spoonfuls of jelly of damson to obtain a rather thick sauce with rum which had been marinating the bananas

Pour this cald in on top of the bananas and papaya slices, and serve cold

This excellent dessert can be served cold.
