About this recipe
Strawberry dragon fruit frozen yogurt with the Thermomix TM7 is the kind of quick summer dessert recipe that looks impressive but takes almost no effort. Frozen yogurt recipes are popular for good reason: they deliver the creamy satisfaction of ice cream with the bright tang of Greek yogurt, and here the dragon fruit brings a spectacular magenta colour along with its mild, melon-like sweetness. The real trick in this recipe is the freeze-dried strawberries, which the TM7 grinds into an intense powder that flavours the base deeply without adding any extra moisture, something fresh berries alone cannot do. Because the all-in-one kitchen machine weighs the sugar, yogurt and fruit directly in the bowl, you keep washing up to a minimum. Serve it soft straight from the mixing bowl or freeze it firm for scoopable balls, making it a flexible dessert for weeknight treats as well as garden parties.
Preparation tips
- Use ripe dragon fruit with bright, slightly soft skin for the sweetest flavour and the deepest pink colour, as an underripe one tastes bland and dulls the look of the frozen yogurt.
- For a scoopable texture, transfer the blended mixture to a shallow container and stir it once after an hour in the freezer; this breaks up ice crystals without an ice cream maker.
- If you cannot find freeze-dried strawberries, substitute the same weight of extra fresh strawberries, but reduce the inverted sugar slightly so the base does not become too soft when frozen.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: swap the Greek yogurt for a thick plant-based coconut or soy yogurt and replace the inverted sugar with maple syrup for a dairy-free frozen yogurt that stays wonderfully creamy.
- Tropical festive version: replace half the dragon fruit with mango and garnish with toasted coconut flakes and fresh mint for a colourful party dessert that looks fantastic in glass bowls.
