Top tips
- Type of pitahaya: There are several types of dragon fruit. In my opinion, the fuchsia one is the juiciest, but you can choose any other type or mix them together.
- With milk: You can use evaporated milk instead of coconut milk, and you can use condensed milk to sweeten it if you prefer.
- Other recipes: If you have leftover pitahaya, you can make it into a lovely dragon fruit juice, or this lovely dragonfruit in spiced syrup dessert.
