Notes on choosing ingredients
- For children under 12 months old, do not use sugar in this recipe.
- Use organic corn starch and formula milk for babies who are starting to eat solids from 6 months and older.
- Whipping cream is for children over 1 year old to increase creaminess, however, do not use too much whipping cream as children’s digestive systems are still weak. For children under 1 year, replace it with unsalted cheese to enhance the creaminess instead of whipping cream.
- Children over 1 year old can have 2 meals a day of solid food, and older children can have additional snacks.

After squeezing, you will obtain about 30ml of dragon fruit juice. Then, add all of this juice to the beaten egg milk mixture above and mix well.
Tip: You can adjust the ratio of unsweetened fresh milk, whipping cream, and fruit juice to create different flavored fruit creams:
- If you want a rich cream, increase the amount of whipping cream.

- For children under 1 year old, completely replace unsweetened fresh milk and whipping cream with formula milk (you can add a little low-salt cheese to enhance the creaminess).
