- ¾ cup (180 mL) almond milk
- ½ cup (100 g) sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Slice dragon fruits and extract their vibrant pink flesh, meticulously removing all pulp from the skin.
- Blending: Combine dragon fruit pulp, almond milk, coconut milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a high-powered blender, processing until achieving a silky-smooth, uniform pink mixture with no visible fruit fragments.
