CHEF’S SECRET
Choose a ripe pitahaya (dragon fruit) for a sweeter taste and a smoother texture. Smooth, slightly shiny skin is a sign of freshness.
Compliments Orange, Raspberry, and Mango Juice is an excellent choice for this recipe. However, feel free to experiment with other juice blends to vary the flavours.
For an even more interesting texture, try adding small pieces of mango or orange to your pitahaya puree. This will give your popsicles a wonderful crunch and add an extra layer of flavour that will delight your taste buds.
To easily unmould your popsicles, run the mould under warm water. This will help the mould unstick from the popsicle.
Serve these popsicles at a fantasy- or dragon-themed party to amaze and delight your guests. They’re sure to steal the show!
