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.

Pour into your popsicle molds and place in the freezer โ€” 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.
