Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 fresh kiwis, peeled and sliced into chunks
- 1 cup dragonfruit (pitaya) meat, scooped out
Liquids
- 1 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, or coconut milk suggested)
- 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweeteners
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener of choice (adjust to taste)
Others
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare Your Fruits: Peel the kiwi and slice it into small chunks. Cut open the dragonfruit and scoop out its vibrant pink flesh, discarding the skin. Having your fruits prepped and ready ensures smooth blending.
- Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the kiwi chunks, dragonfruit meat, ice cubes, milk of choice, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and thick, resembling a creamy slush.
- Taste and Adjust: Give your frappuccino a taste. Adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar, lemon juice, or a splash of water if the texture is too thick. Blend again briefly if you add extra ingredients.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the frappuccino into your favorite glass. To impress, layer some extra dragonfruit or kiwi pieces on top or swirl in a drizzle of honey before serving.
Notes
- Use frozen fruits instead of fresh to achieve a thicker texture without extra ice.
- Blend just enough to break down the ice and fruits to avoid a watery texture.
- Adjust the amount of milk to make the frappuccino thicker or lighter.
- Pre-chill your serving glass for an extra-cool experience.
- Choose ripe, sweet kiwi and dragonfruit for best flavor and vibrant colors.
- This frappuccino is best enjoyed fresh and cold; leftovers can be refrigerated up to 24 hours and stirred before drinking.
- Freeze any leftover blended mixture in ice cube trays for future use in smoothies or frappuccinos.
- Reheating is not recommended; remix with ice to restore texture and chill.
