How to Make Dragon Fruit Dessert Stack
- In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, honey (or agave syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.

- Sprinkle the unsweetened coconut flakes and chopped mixed nuts over the top of each dessert stack.
- Drizzle a little extra honey or agave syrup over the top for added sweetness.

Tips for the Best Results
- Choose ripe dragon fruits with vibrant skin for the best flavor and texture.
- If you can’t find coconut yogurt, any plain yogurt will work just fine.
- For a more decadent treat, consider adding a layer of granola for extra crunch.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the nuts for seeds if you have nut allergies; sunflower or pumpkin seeds work well.
- Add fresh berries like strawberries or blueberries for an extra burst of flavor and color.
- Use flavored yogurt, such as vanilla or mango, to enhance the taste profile.
What to Serve With It
- A chilled glass of coconut water for a refreshing drink.
- Lightly sweetened iced tea or lemonade for a thirst-quenching pairing.
