Scale
Fruit Base
- ½ cup frozen Pitaya (dragon fruit)
- ½ banana
- ½ cup frozen strawberries
- ½ cup frozen mango
Liquid Ingredients
- ¾ cup canned coconut milk
- ½ cup pineapple juice
Additional
- 1 tbsp milk or water (for adjusting texture)
Instructions
- Blend: Combine the frozen pitaya, banana, frozen strawberries, frozen mango, canned coconut milk, and pineapple juice in a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour: Transfer the blended mixture into the Ninja CREAMi container, filling up to the indicated fill line to ensure proper freezing and processing.
- Freeze: Place the container upright in your freezer and freeze for 24 hours. This extended freezing time ensures the mixture is solid enough for the Ninja CREAMi to process it into a creamy texture.
- Mix: Insert the frozen container into the Ninja CREAMi machine. Select and press the ‘Light Ice Cream’ button to churn the mixture into a smooth, creamy pitaya bowl.
- Add Milk: If the texture is too firm or crumbly, use a butter knife to create a small hole in the center of the frozen block. Add 1 tablespoon of milk or water through the hole to help soften it.
- Respin: Return the container to the Ninja CREAMi and press the ‘Re-spin’ button. This second churn will create an ideal creamy consistency perfect for eating.
- Enjoy: Serve your freshly made Pitaya Bowl immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Use frozen fruit to achieve the best creamy consistency.
- Freezing the mixture for a full 24 hours is essential for the Ninja CREAMi to work properly.
- Adjust milk or water amount for desired texture when respinning.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegan.
- Ensure your Ninja CREAMi container is properly sealed and upright during freezing to avoid spills.
