Ingredients
- • ripe dragon fruits: 2
- • coconut milk (full-fat): 1/2 cup
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- • unsweetened coconut flakes: 1/4 cup

Instructions
- 1 Cut the dragon fruits in half and scoop out the flesh using a spoon. Place the flesh in a blender along with coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and lime juice.
- 2 Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Transfer the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until the sorbet is firm.
- 3 While the sorbet is freezing, toast the coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
- 4 Once the sorbet is ready, scoop it into bowls and top with toasted coconut flakes and fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately for a refreshing dessert experience.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Chia-Infused Dragon Fruit Sorbet with Coconut Crunch is best enjoyed on a warm day when you're looking for a light, refreshing dessert. Complement your sorbet with a side of fresh tropical fruits like mango or pineapple for added sweetness and a burst of vibrant color. Pair it with a chilled herbal tea, such as mint or hibiscus, to enhance the naturally refreshing qualities of the sorbet. For an elegant presentation, serve the sorbet in hollowed-out dragon fruit halves or in chilled glass bowls. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a sprinkle of chia seeds for an extra touch of sophistication.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To maintain its creamy texture, let it thaw at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes before serving. The toasted coconut flakes can be stored in a sealed container at room temperature for up to two weeks, keeping them crisp and ready for your next batch of sorbet.
