Ingredients:
For the Coconut Cream Base:
• 1 can (400 ml) full-fat coconut milk (preferably BPA-free)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
For the Dragon Fruit Topping:
• 1 medium-large dragon fruit, cut into small bite-sized pieces
• 1 very ripe banana, sliced
• 1 tsp raw cacao powder (optional)

Instructions:
1. Begin by making the coconut cream base. Open the can of coconut milk and scoop out the solidified cream from the top, setting aside any liquid that has separated below.
