Ingredients

Dragon Fruit: I used pink frozen dragonfruit for this recipe. You can use fresh dragonfruit if you prefer, or have that on hand.

See below for more information and tips about dragon fruit.

Mango: I also used frozen mango in this recipe to give a more sweet and dynamic flavor. You can swap for fresh mango if you prefer.

Lime: I always recommend using freshly squeezed lime juice for the best possible flavor.

Agave Nectar: The agave nectar is a great way to sweeten this dragon fruit ice cream even more.

You can substitute the agave nectar for maple syrup, organic coconut sugar, or any other sweetener of your choice. You can also omit it if you prefer.

Water or Coconut Water: I like using a cup of water or preferably coconut water in this homemade vegan ice cream recipe for an extra boost of refreshing flavor.

How to Make Homemade Popsicles

You'll start by combining all ingredients in a blender and blending until smooth and creamy.

Once blended, pour the mixture/frozen dragonfruit drink, into your popsicle mold to the fill line.

Place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes so they start to harden.

Remove at the 30 minute mark to place your popsicle sticks then return to the freezer for a few more hours until frozen solid.

Once frozen solid, remove your homemade fruit popsicles from the molds and enjoy your easy frozen dessert!
