Just look at it, it&#8217;s so beautiful! <\/p>\n<p>This is a very lame way to make ice cream. Seriously, just go buy an ice cream maker (I am holding out for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0041A3KPC\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B0041A3KPC&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=soverdom-20\">this Cuisinart one<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=soverdom-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B0041A3KPC\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/>). If you don&#8217;t have an ice cream maker though, this will do. Essentially you&#8217;re just freezing ice cream in ice cube trays. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"\/images\/v2\/healthy\/vegan-dragonfruit-ice-cream\/vegan-dragonfruit-ice-cream-01.jpg\" alt=\"Dragonfruit Ice Cream\" title=\"Dragonfruit Ice Cream\">\n<\/div>\n<p>There are two types of dragon fruit, some are pink like this and taste a little sweet and some are white and taste blander. I wasn&#8217;t sure if it was going to be the white or pink kind when I first bought this at the market so I was pretty stoked that it was the sweeter of the two. I will try this again with the white kind if I come across any.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"\/images\/v2\/healthy\/vegan-dragonfruit-ice-cream\/vegan-dragonfruit-ice-cream-02.jpg\" alt=\"Dragonfruit Ice Cream\" title=\"Dragonfruit Ice Cream\">\n<\/div>\n<p>All I did was scoop out the yummy insides and mash them up with about 1\/2 (maybe closer to 3\/4) of a cup of coconut milk. The more coconut milk you add, the softer it will be when you eat it. Though it will be far from soft, a better description would be &#8216;the more coconut milk you add, the less rock hard it will be&#8217;. Then I added a little sugar, feel free to keep it healthy by adding stevia or natural maple syrup or agave or whatever.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"\/images\/v2\/healthy\/vegan-dragonfruit-ice-cream\/vegan-dragonfruit-ice-cream-03.jpg\" alt=\"Dragonfruit Ice Cream\" title=\"Dragonfruit Ice Cream\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src=\"\/images\/v2\/healthy\/vegan-dragonfruit-ice-cream\/vegan-dragonfruit-ice-cream-04.jpg\" alt=\"Dragonfruit Ice Cream\" title=\"Dragonfruit Ice Cream\"><\/div>\n<p>Pour your finished mixture into ice cube trays, and wait a few hours. Another way to do it would be to put your mixture into a stainless steel bowl and mix it every 30 minutes or so until you reach the consistency you&#8217;re after. I put them in an ice cube tray and them popped them out and into a cup when I was ready to try it. I let it sit for just a few minutes and it was ice creamy enough for me!<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img src=\"\/images\/v2\/healthy\/vegan-dragonfruit-ice-cream\/vegan-dragonfruit-ice-cream-05.jpg\" alt=\"Dragonfruit Ice Cream\" title=\"Dragonfruit Ice Cream\">\n<\/div>\n<p>This is not a replacement for triple fudge ice cream by any stretch &#8211; but if you have a craving for ice cream that&#8217;s beyond the usual frozen banana in the food processor trick, while still keeping it healthy, this is a good option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of those &#8216;not really a recipe recipes&#8217;.
