Sorbet is a delightfully fruit-flavored snack or dessert and serves as a palate refresher. Choosing this lip-smacking fruit ‘Pitaya’ or what is commonly referred as dragon fruit is irresistible. This cactus-like fruit surprises you with its red or white and sweet tasting flesh. Its unique rind, vibrant reddish pink color and stunning shape, makes it appealing to many. Its legendary story is fascinating and because it is a symbol of victory in the story of the fire breathing dragons, they are loved even more.
Dragon fruit is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C, fiber, and it is an excellent source of anti-oxidants which is effective in preventing the dangers of cancer and any other unwanted health impairments. It is also low in calories. This makes it a preferred fruit for those who are losing weight.
Below is a simple recipe for an ultimate dragon fruit sorbet for your health.
Ingredients:
2 dragon fruits
2 Tbsps. Sugar (use coconut sugar/muscovado for a healthier sorbet)
3/4 cup light coconut milk
2 -4 pieces of limes/lemon (juice it before combining)
1 1/2 cups crushed ice
Instructions:
1.Divide the dragon into two halved and scrape out the pulp. Set aside the rind and use it as a bowl later.
2.Combine the sugar and coconut milk into a bowl until the sugar dissolves completely.
3.Put the pulp of the dragon fruit, sugar and coconut milk combination, lime/lemon juice and crushed ice into a blender. Blend until smooth.
Note: Add more coconut milk to make it creamier and resembles an ice cream texture. But if you want it to end as a sorbet, then reduce coconut milk. Taste it and add sugar if it tastes a little bland.
Now enjoy your tasty, sweet-fruity sorbet by placing a few scoops into your dragon fruit bowls.
