This bright pink "nice cream" will have you dreaming of a tropical island vacation. This smoothie bowl is thick like ice cream, and while you might be thinking breakfast, it's a pretty amazing dessert as well. Juice bars in the US sell these as a "pitaya bowl."

Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowls

banana (chopped and frozen)

mango (chopped and frozen)

dragon fruit (pitaya) (chopped and frozen)

coconut milk (canned, full fat)

coconut

fresh fruit

nuts butters

granola

chocolate chips

Add the frozen fruit to a food processor. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to gently thaw before beginning to process.

Add coconut milk, and then process until very smooth and the mixture begins to fluff up.

Use a spoon to push down any chunks of fruit that aren't processing.

This works the best in my food processor if I fill the bowl about half full. Any less or too full, and some of the fruit doesn't get blended well.

Top with fruit, nuts, coconut, or nut butter, or just enjoy like soft serve ice cream!

These were so fun to make with my kids this weekend!! They loved the purple / pink color of these popsicles and gobbled them right up! Perfect for the warm weather we are having!

Such a gorgeous color from the dragon fruit and the perfect way to kick off summer! I don't make popsicles nearly enough. They sound absolutely amazing!

Perfect summer treat and I love that you used coconut water!

Yum! I like the color, and that they are made with lots of yummy fruits.

The color alone is enough to sell me! And I love that you added coconut water. These are great for hydration.

Ingredients for Dragon Fruit Popsicles
Only six ingredients are needed to make this gorgeous homemade popsicles.

Dragon Fruit is a tropical fruit that tastes similar to a cross between kiwi and pear. The fruit is also known as pitaya, red dragon fruit, pitahaya, or strawberry pear can be found in the fruit section of many grocery markets, or in the frozen fruit section. I used the bright pink frozen version by Pitaya Foods for this popsicle recipe (purchased from Costco), but any dragon fruit variety would work! Dragon fruit is knowns as a superfood, full of antioxidants and vitamin C.

Raspberries add sweet and tart flavor to this popsicle recipe and help to keep this popsicle brightly colored. You can use fresh or frozen raspberries in this popsicle recipe.

Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice adds some acidity, tartness, and sweetness to these healthy popsicles.

Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice adds more acidity and a fun flavor to the dragon fruit mixture.

Coconut water is used to help blend up the mixture, I added about 1/2 cup but you can add more or less depending on the texture and flavor you want. I used my favorite brand, Harmless Harvest, purchased from Costco, but any coconut water should do!

Sugar is an optional ingredient in these dragon fruit popsicles, but it helps to make the texture a little softer, while also adding extra sweetness.

Supplies Needed for Dragon Fruit Popsicles

Popsicle Molds I love these silicone molds, but there are so many great options to choose from that would all work great for dragon fruit popsicles.

Wooden popsicle sticks can be purchased on amazon, or some popsicle molds, like this one come with the popsicle sticks attached.

Blender most blenders should work for this recipe, I use my vitamix.

You will also need access to a freezer for this dragon fruit popsicle recipe!

How to make Dragon Fruit Popsicles

These homemade popsicles take hardly any prep time and are so easy to make. Simply combine ingredients in your blender, pour into popsicle molds, add popsicle sticks, and freeze for 4-6 hours or until completely frozen. Remove dragon fruit popsicles from mold and enjoy!
