Grab some dragon fruit and make this stunning Dragon Fruit Ice Cream…it’s healthy, vegan, and creamy!
Dragon Fruit Ice Cream
I’m on such a dragon fruit kick these days. It’s beautiful, sweet, and a nice change from all the normal fruits that are on shelves all year long. I was trying to buy some white fleshed dragon fruit, but my store only had this red variety. Once I cut it open, I knew it would be beautiful turned into ice cream.
I think the color is out of this world. It’s absolutely stunning!
The use of almond milk and canned coconut milk keep this ice cream creamy and vegan. It also gives it a hint of a tropical dessert, which I love. It really couldn’t be any easier to throw this ice cream together…just a quick run through the blender and then straight into an ice cream maker.

Ingredients
- 2 dragon fruits, halved and fruit removed
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1 (13.5 oz) can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Prepare ice cream maker according to user manual.
- Place the fruit of the dragon fruits into a blender with other ingredients and puree until smooth. Pour into a prepared ice cream maker and run until mixture is frozen. Pour into a freezer-safe container and freezer for several hours or until firm.
- Remove from freezer for 10 minutes to soften before serving.
Notes
- I used red fleshed dragon fruit, but the white fleshed fruit will work too (the ice cream just won't be pink).

Can the mixture simply be left in the freezer overnight and then eaten, if you don’t have an ice cream maker?
Hi Taylor, I haven’t tried that, but I would thing you’d need to keep stirring it every few hours while it’s freezing if you don’t want it to become a solid hard brick. If you try it, let me know how it turns out. w-
Hi May I ask if I want to make this recipe using dairy (to get my kids to eat it, they don’t like coconut milk so much), is there any way you could advise? TQVM 😊
Hi Sylvia, just use your favorite milk product. Cow, Almond, Rice….it should work.
Oh my goodness, look how gorgeous! That color! Love it.
I have got to make this. The color is gorgeous! Sounds like a refreshing treat to beat this summer heat wave we’re having on the east coast.
The color of this ice cream is gorgeous! Bonus that it also is so tasty and yummy 🙂
The only problem is I have problem of over eating but I will try it surely
