This vibrant, tropical ice cream blends sweet dragonfruit and juicy strawberries into a creamy, refreshing frozen treat! With its naturally bright pink color and fruity flavor, it’s as beautiful as it is delicious! 
Ingredients:• 1 cup fresh or frozen dragonfruit (pitaya), diced
• 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup whole milk (or coconut milk for dairy-free option)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (enhances the fruit flavor)
Directions:
Blend the Fruits:• In a blender, puree dragonfruit and strawberries until smooth.
• Add lemon juice and pulse to combine.
Prepare the Ice Cream Base:• In a large bowl, whisk together heavy cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar is fully dissolved.
• Stir in the fruit puree, mixing until evenly combined.
Churn or Freeze the Ice Cream:• With an Ice Cream Maker: Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (about 20-25 minutes).
• Without an Ice Cream Maker: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to maintain creaminess.
Freeze Until Firm:• Transfer to a loaf pan or airtight container, cover, and freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Serve and Enjoy:• Scoop and enjoy with fresh fruit, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of honey!
Pro Tip:For a tropical twist, mix in toasted coconut flakes or white chocolate chips before freezing!
