Dragon Fruit Ice Pops
I don’t know about you, but when I think “dragon fruit” I think of bright colors and exotic fruity flavors. These purple popsicles certainly live up to that!
I mean, they are just so fun and almost impossibly vibrant — kids are going to love them! And you can feel good about serving these superfood treats because they are packed with nutrients and sweetened naturally with honey.
With just 6 ingredients, these dragon fruit popsicles are the perfect easy summer treat. Just blend and freeze, and you’ve got one of the best popsicles you’ve ever had!
What Does Dragon Fruit Taste Like?
Dragon fruit is known perhaps more for its color than it’s taste. This vibrant fruit is bright pinkish purple on the outside, with an almost white inner flesh that is speckled with tiny black seeds.
Unlike it’s eye-catching appearance, the flavor of dragon fruit is a bit more subtle. It is sometimes described as a blend of kiwi, pear, and even watermelon. Dragon fruit blends well with other fruits, as we did with this popsicle recipe.
Another perk to enjoying dragon fruit is that it is loaded with health benefits, so much so that it is often called a “superfood.”
Dragon fruit is naturally low in fat and high in fiber. Dragon fruit is a good source of antioxidants, as well as immune-boosting prebiotics.

How to Make Dragon Fruit Popsicles
The awesome thing about this recipe is that even though they look fancy, these popsicles are super easy to make! All you need is a blender and popsicle molds!
Just add the ingredients to the blender and mix until everything is smooth.
Pour into your popsicle molds and place in the freezer — without the sticks.
Yep, we wait about an hour before inserting the popsicle sticks into our ice pops. If you put the sticks in while everything is totally liquid, the sticks may move around instead of staying in place.
Once you have the sticks in place, freeze for at least 6 hours or so, until they are solid.
Enjoy!
Can I Use Regular Milk?
Absolutely! We use coconut milk because I am lactose intolerant and because the coconut milk pairs well with the tropical fruit flavors.
If you’d like to use regular dairy milk, I recommend choosing whole milk for a creamier texture.
