1. Sprinkle the gelatine over 1 cup of cold water in a small bowl. Combine the milk and sugar in a large saucepan and stir over medium heat until steaming,then add the gelatine and stir until the gelatine and sugar are fully dissolved. Pour either into 1 large presentation bowl or divide between 6 individual bowls and refrigerate until completely set,about 3 hours.

2. Cut the papaya into wedges or shred with a julienne peeler and place on top of the jelly. Squeeze some lime over the papaya and serve.

Adam's tip: My mother taught me that a kind of magic happens when you put lime on papaya – and it's quite true. I was never a fan of papaya until then,but a little squeeze on top completely transforms the fruit.
