Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Dairy-Free Dragon Fruit Ice Cream
  1. Set Up Your Ice Cream Maker. Pre-freeze the bowl for at least 24 hours.
  2. Blend the Ingredients Together. Combine dragon fruit flesh, almond milk, coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour and Churn the Mixture. Pour into the ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes.
  4. Prepare for Freezing. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and cover with parchment paper.
  5. Freeze Until Firm. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm to the touch.
  6. Soften Before Serving. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.

Notes

Store leftover ice cream in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Always press parchment paper onto the surface to minimize ice crystal formation.
