Description
At its heart, this recipe is a celebration of the pitaya, more commonly known as dragon fruit. While dragon fruit comes in varieties with white flesh, the pink-fleshed version is prized for its high antioxidant content and its neon-pink hue. When we talk about a Pink Dragonfruit Sorbet, we are describing a frozen treat made by blending the frozen fruit until it reaches a smooth, scoopable consistency. Unlike traditional ice cream, this version is dairy-free and relies on the natural fibers and sugars of the fruit to create a luscious mouthfeel.

- 2 cups frozen pink dragon fruit (pitaya), cubed
- 1 frozen banana (for creaminess)
