This Dragon Fruit or Pitaya And Coconut Milk Pudding is a welcoming Tropical Summer Dessert made from Dragon Fruit and Coconut Milk. I love Dragon Fruit as it has lovely fresh flavors and beautiful colors. It has mild flavors unlike the name and the black seeds give the crunch to the dessert. It is so simple and can be made in a jiffy.
This is so refreshing and insanely easy. I am totally intrigued by this recipe as it is so perfect for fast approaching summers. It’s light… delectable and melt in your mouth dessert.
Dragon Fruit is found in abundance in tropical and subtropical regions in South America and Asia. It does contain some pretty magical benefits that can make you feel like a beautiful princess or a knight in shining armor. Also known as Pitaya, these fun-looking fruits contain around 60 calories each and are rich in vitamin C, B1, B2, and B3, and minerals such as iron, calcium, and phosphorus. And that’s not all. This is definitely one of the best “super fruits” out there. So try to include this in your diet. Make this simple pudding and you are sorted for a quick dessert.
This recipe has been inspired by one of my favorite websites:

I have made some changes as always and come up with a fairly simple dessert. In short, I have avoided Rambutan from the original recipe.
