Ovos Moles De Papaia is a traditional Portuguese dessert that is popular in countries throughout the world. It is made by blending fresh papaya with a touch of lime juice and water, then cooking it down with sugar and egg yolks to create a creamy, silky-smooth pudding. The cinnamon and cloves give the pudding a warm, spicy flavor that complements the sweetness of the papaya. Overall, this dessert is a unique and flavorful way to enjoy the health benefits of papaya and egg yolks.

Instructions

1.	In a blender or food processor, blend the chopped papaya, lime juice, and water until very smooth, then set aside.
2.	In a heavy saucepan, heat the sugar, cinnamon stick, and cloves over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until the sugar is melted and caramelized.
3.	Slowly whisk in the papaya mixture and cook over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened to a pudding consistency.
4.	In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks with a fork. Gradually whisk in a small amount of the hot papaya mixture, then pour the mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly to combine.
5.	Cook over low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
6.	Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves, then pour the pudding through a strainer into a bowl to remove any lumps or fibrous bits of papaya.
7.	Let the pudding cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
