What do we need to make dragon fruit ice cream
Dragon fruit

Any brand whipping cream which has 35 % fat content will work on this recipe. Check the label of the whipping cream to ensure whether the cream is added with sugar. If the whipping cream contains sugar you can skip the brown sugar/sugar adding step.
Coconut cream

How to prep dragon fruit
The appearance of the dragon fruit is hard. When to touch you can feel they are hard to the appearance only. They are not sharp like durian to feel. They have leather-like skin with spikes soft to touch. They are easy to peel as well. They look like kiwi because the seed is intact despite the taste.
