Super nice video! I’m impressed by that machine! I tried using the more traditional way and didn’t go that well. Your’s look perfect! 😃 it would be nice to see the sorbet! 🤗 thanks for sharing the love! ☺️
You can make that with a hand mixer or a stand mixer and freeze it after you get it whipped up but you have to be careful and make sure you don't whip it too long or it will turn it into butter. Have you tried any of the dragon fruit freeze dried?
What a great idea! Would love to see your recipe for a healthier version (e.g. a natural sugar like the agave nectar/honey/coconut sugar, and a milk substitute like coconut milk)!
I really enjoyed your videos on 'How to Root Dragon Fruit Stem From Store Bought Fruit.' However, I’ve found that rooting a dragonfruit stem in water presents challenges, like needing to change the water often and using hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the fruit pulp. How about trying to root a dragonfruit cutting from store-bought fruit without using any growing medium, relying only on humidity? You would need a 2mm copper wire, a glass jar, water, a hygrometer, plastic wrap, and a toothpick. You could wrap the copper wire to create a stand for the cutting inside the glass jar, which you’d fill with water (making sure no water touches the cutting). Then, cover the jar with plastic wrap, prick holes in it with the toothpick, and monitor the humidity. I’d be really interested to see what kind of results you’d get from this method. Looking forward to your thoughts! Is this something you would like to try? I’d call it a lazy way to root dragonfruit at home.
@@GraftingDragonFruit I already tried it before but failed over and over again. However, what I think - and I say 'I think' very lightly - that I can learn from it is that you need to keep it away from intense sunlight, so it doesn't dry out or get stressed. Preferably, it should be in the shaded part of the house, but not in complete darkness, as dragonfruit cuttings, unlike pineapple crowns, can't root near a very sunny window, especially if you're trying to root them without any growing medium. Therefore, you wouldn't want to keep it in the sunny window of your house during the summer. Late autumn or early winter is probably the best time to try it inside if you live in Mid or Northern Europe. You need to keep it in a container that is large enough for the cutting to have good ventilation (the most difficult part), so you can't place too many cuttings at once. Also, the warmer it is in your house, the more ventilation is going to be necessary for the cutting to prevent rot. The cutting would root best at a room temperature of 18-20°C rather than 23-25°C because it wouldn't lose as much water, would stay more hydrated, and develop a more robust root system. However, the downside is that rooting might take twice as long. A humidity level somewhere around 70%-80%, without big fluctuations, ideally needs to be maintained to keep the cutting from drying out. That said, keeping it near a stove is the worst place in the kitchen to keep it, as humidity and temperature around the cutting can suddenly increase when members of the house cook their food. As a consequence, air ventilation can significantly drop, and all of that leads to rot. The cutting needs to be kept away from condensation, as condensation is its worst enemy when trying to root it using this method.
@GraftingDragonFruit I just fill the ninja containers with dragon fruit, freeze them and put it through the gelati cycle on the ninja creami. I grow a few hundred fruit trees and we make lots of different gelati. Mandarin/lychee , banana/jackfruit, jaboticaba , the combinations are endless and they are all delicious and healthy.
Now to make Dragonfruit cake and then layer the Dragonfruit Icecream between cake layers to make a Dragonfruit Icecream Cake. I bet Dragonfruit would make an awesome cake if you added some to a white cake mix and turn it an amazing color.
I would love to see as many recipes for dragon fruit that you can make!❤
Trying my best!
Thanks for sharing this. I will be trying this.
You’re welcome! Let me know how it tastes
Awesome, it’s really looks delicious
It was!
Thank you Richard, your ice-cream looks delicious.
You’re welcome! You should try one day
Thanks for the recipe, I'm gonna' try it next weekend using an old fashion method, Barrel Ice Cream.
That can work too!
Super nice video! I’m impressed by that machine! I tried using the more traditional way and didn’t go that well. Your’s look perfect! 😃 it would be nice to see the sorbet! 🤗 thanks for sharing the love! ☺️
Thank you! The CREAMi is amazing! Makes making ice cream so easy
@@GraftingDragonFruit sooo niceee! :D

Hope you like it!
Have you try making salad of your dragonfruit? You should try it. I just made salad from my first harvest.
Not yet but I need to try it. Sounds delicious!

Thanks for the tip. I haven’t tried yet
23:03 thanks Richard I must try this recipe. Looks so easy. CP from Hawaii
High five on a great dessert. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
Can’t wait to make my own!!!

Looks delicious ! Where you get your plants from? Wanna try! Can you use frozen dragonfruit?
Hard to beat homegrown dragon fruit and pineapple smoothies.
Can’t go wrong with it
I used frozen dragon fruit and mash it after thawing with ingredients it taste amazing!
@@conniegrim174 No doubt. I freeze the dragon fruit and pineapple first.
Do 101 things to do with dragon fruit and also can you show who’s behind the camera
Good luck 👍❤ from Assam jagiroad nice ice cream 🍦🍨
Thanks!
I'm going to make this Icecream when I have Dragonfruit and add a little Plantation Barbados Rum or Bumbu Rum to the recipe!
Spicing it up a little. I like the idea!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
What a great idea! Would love to see your recipe for a healthier version (e.g. a natural sugar like the agave nectar/honey/coconut sugar, and a milk substitute like coconut milk)!
I don’t have one at the moment for those substitutes as I don’t really use them 😅
do you have one for coconut icecream?

Sounds like an interesting experiment. Try it and let me know what your results are

Is it possible to grow dragon fruit on the ground in Zone 9b?
Yes I’ve seen people have success with it
@@GraftingDragonFruit Why do most growers on TH-cam use pots instead of directly in the ground? Does it grow better?
Low fat version can you use splenda?
I’m sure you can
I just use fruit and make gelati, it's way easier and tastes almost as good.
What’s your recipe for making gelati?
@GraftingDragonFruit I just fill the ninja containers with dragon fruit, freeze them and put it through the gelati cycle on the ninja creami. I grow a few hundred fruit trees and we make lots of different gelati. Mandarin/lychee , banana/jackfruit, jaboticaba , the combinations are endless and they are all delicious and healthy.

That sounds amazing haha
Even better, make the cake artistically look like a long dragon, or a dragonfruit cheesecake ice cream, haha!
Anyone have directions for dehydrating drshon fruit in an airfryer?
Hopefully someone has tried
has anyone used a blendtec?
Try experimenting yourself
❤❤♥️♥️🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Thanks for watching!
The dragonfruit I’ve gotten from the store has no flavor.
Yeah they are picked early so it doesn’t have a chance to ripen fully
Get yellow dragonfruit so much better and sweet not bland at all.
@@andyerbz3979 nice I’ll try it. Thank you 🙂
