Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Fruit Puree
- In a blender, combine the dragon fruit, strawberries, and lemon juice.
- Blend until completely smooth. If using frozen fruit, let it thaw slightly before blending.
Step 2: Make the Ice Cream Base
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. (If using coconut milk, chill it first and only use the thick creamy part.)
- Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and fruit puree until well combined.
Step 3: Freeze the Ice Cream
- Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or airtight container.
- Cover and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
Serving Suggestions
- 🍨 Scoop into bowls and top with fresh fruit or toasted coconut flakes.
- 🍓 Drizzle with honey or a strawberry sauce for extra sweetness.
- 🍦 Serve in a waffle cone for a fun summer treat!
Variations & Tips
💡 Make It Vegan – Use coconut condensed milk and coconut cream instead of dairy.
💡 Add Crunch – Fold in chopped nuts, crushed cookies, or white chocolate chips before freezing.
💡 Boost the Flavor – A splash of lime juice or coconut extract can enhance the tropical taste.
💡 Use Frozen Fruit – If fresh dragon fruit or strawberries aren’t available, frozen works just as well!
