Grilled Papaya with Sweet Saffron Butter and Lime Mascarpone Cream

Here’s what might happen if southern Italians and southern Indians were to grill dessert together in Hawaii. Okay, maybe that’s an unlikely scenario. But this is still a great flavor combination. We use lime oil here because the acidity of lime juice would curdle the mascarpone and make it grainy in texture. Pure lime extract works fine if you can’t find lime oil.
