Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 dragon fruits
- 1 (13.5 ounces / 383 grams) can of unsweetened coconut milk
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) almond milk
Sweeteners:
- ½ cup (100 grams) sugar
Flavor Enhancer:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Position your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s detailed guidelines, ensuring the freezer bowl is completely chilled and ready for churning.
- Slice the vibrant dragon fruit into chunks and transfer to a high-powered blender, adding unsweetened almond milk (240 milliliters/8 fluid ounces), full-fat coconut milk (240 milliliters/8 fluid ounces), granulated white sugar (100 grams/), and pure vanilla extract (5 milliliters/).
- Blend the ingredients on high speed for 60-90 seconds until the mixture transforms into a smooth, uniform consistency with no visible fruit chunks.
- Carefully pour the creamy dragon fruit mixture into the prepared ice cream maker, activating the churning process for 20-25 minutes or until the texture resembles soft-serve ice cream.
- Use a spatula to transfer the freshly churned ice cream into an airtight, freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly to ensure consistent freezing.
- Place the container in the freezer and allow the ice cream to firm up for 2-3 hours, creating a perfect scoopable texture.
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer 10-15 minutes before serving to achieve the ideal creamy consistency, allowing it to slightly soften at room temperature.
Notes

- Blending whole dragonfruit creates an intense natural color and preserves maximum nutritional benefits of the exotic fruit.
