Ingredients
Scale
- 2 dragon fruits
- 1 13.5 oz / 383 g can of unsweetened coconut milk
- ¾ cup (180 ml) almond milk
- ½ cup (100 g) sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Chill the ice cream maker’s freezer bowl completely according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- Blending: Combine dragon fruit chunks, almond milk, coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract in a high-powered blender. Pulse on high speed until the mixture becomes silky smooth and uniform without any fruit fragments.
- Churning: Transfer the blended liquid into the ice cream maker and activate the churning process. Allow the mixture to transform into a soft-serve consistency, which typically takes 20-25 minutes.
- Freezing: Gently spread the freshly churned ice cream into an airtight container, ensuring an even distribution. Place the container in the freezer and let it solidify for 2-3 hours until it reaches a perfectly scoopable texture.
- Serving: Extract the dragon fruit ice cream from the freezer 10-15 minutes before serving. Let it rest at room temperature to achieve a luxuriously creamy consistency that glides effortlessly onto your spoon.
Notes
- Chill Equipment Thoroughly: Ensure the ice cream maker’s freezer bowl is completely frozen for at least 24 hours before churning to guarantee smooth, creamy texture.
- Blend for Perfection: Process the mixture on high speed for the full 90 seconds to break down dragon fruit completely and create a silky-smooth base.
- Freeze Strategically: Use a shallow, wide container to help the ice cream freeze evenly and prevent large ice crystals from forming.
- Serve with Precision: Let the ice cream rest at room temperature for exactly 10-15 minutes before scooping to achieve the perfect creamy consistency without melting completely.
