Recipe: Dragon-Fruit Banana Frozen Novelty

Dairy-free, fat-free, plant-based frozen novelties have never tasted so good with iTi Tropicals fruit purees and juices. iTi Tropicals’ Innovation Team has developed a Dragon Fruit Banana Frozen Novelty concept made from functional ingredients including banana puree and dragon fruit puree.   

Why Banana Puree? 

The banana puree serves as the base for this frozen novelty due to its naturally thick viscosity and smooth mouthfeel.  Because of this, a source of fat is not needed for a smooth, creamy mouthfeel.  

Why Dragon Fruit Puree? 

Due to the betacyanins that naturally occur in dragon fruit, this frozen novelty has a bright, magenta hue! Dragon fruit puree also offers a very subtle hint of flavor that helps balance the banana flavor. 

With a delightfully sweet flavor, exotic magenta color, and velvety smooth texture, iTi Tropicals’ newest frozen novelty concept is sure to be a hit with consumers.   Check out the innovation team’s Dragon Fruit Banana Frozen Novelty recipe below!
