Ingredients: Darwin dragon fruit recipes dessert options

Here are the ingredients for your dragon fruit sago recipe (depending on exactly what you want to emphasise).

  • 1-2 ripe mangoes
  • at least half a red dragon fruit (see the whole fruit in the picture at the bottom of this page)
  • Half cup of dry Tapioca Pearls (sago), as pictured in another of our tapioca pearls recipes.
  • Vanilla pod… one, scraped out. (If you wish, see the vanilla pod I find the best).
  • Tin of normal coconut milk (not light)
  • 2 tbsps of fresh orange juice (i.e. squeeze a real orange)
  • Half tsp of salt, or less to your taste
  • 40 grams of soft tofu, but optional. (I find the organic brand called Earth Source has less, or none of the additives that sometimes cause upsets when you buy them in major supermarkets).

Plus, use whatever other delights you want to serve with it such as tropical passionfruit, and coconut yoghurt.

How to make one of my favourite Darwin dragon fruit recipes

Make it with these steps.

  1. Pre-soak sago (Tapioca Pearls) for about 30 minutes to an hour. (Cover with water).
  2. Bring 6 cups of water to the boil
  3. Add tapioca
  4. Lower heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes
  5. Stir frequently so the pearls, or sago, does not stick together
  6. When it looks translucent (as in the picture below), pour the tapioca pearls into a fine mesh strainer, and run cold water over it. In other words, wash it so the pearls don’t stick together.
  7. Meanwhile, in same pot, add coconut milk, orange juice, salt, vanilla, and stir.
  8. Then, stir in the washed tapioca pearls, or sago, and cook a few more minutes on a low heat
  9. Remove from heat and chill in fridge for 2 hours minimum.
  10. Meantime, cut mangoes to fit into a blender
  11. Blend to a mango puree
  12. If you also want dragon fruit puree, then blend it the same way. Or just cut pieces to solid dragon fruit to go into the mix, as in the picture/s above.
  13. If you wish, add soft tofu into the mango puree, and blend some more
  14. Then, create the type of layers you see in the picture above, such as Tapioca, dragon fruit pieces, mango puree, and / or dragon fruit puree.
