How to choose fresh and delicious fruits
How to choose fresh blueberries
- Choose fruits that are fresh, firm, dry, and blue in color.
- Do not choose soft, mushy fruits that are not too red or green, and avoid fruits that are bruised.
- It is advisable to buy from reputable places to ensure that the blueberries meet delicious standards and have clear origins.
How to choose fresh kiwi
- Gently press the tip of the kiwi stem with your finger, selecting those with soft stems.
- Choose round and somewhat curved fruits, with plenty of fuzz on the outside, and smooth skin without scratches or cuts.
- Avoid kiwi fruits that have hard stems as they are sour (not ripe).
- Avoid deformed or flattened fruits, those with insect bites or bruises.
How to choose fresh strawberries
- Fresh strawberries will have a characteristic fragrance, plump skin, shiny appearance, and uniform red color.
- Choose strawberries with intact and fresh green stems, fully formed fruits without any blemishes.
- For Vietnamese strawberry varieties, it is recommended to choose smaller fruits as they are fragrant strawberries, which will taste sweet and have a distinctive aroma, and avoid larger and heavier strawberries as they are stone strawberries, which will taste sour and have hollow insides, lacking the characteristic fragrance.
- Do not buy strawberries that are too dark red as they are overripe, with dry interiors, or those with bruises and many black spots due to being stored for too long.

How to choose ripe and delicious mangoes
- Ripe mangoes usually have a characteristic fragrant smell, sometimes with tiny black spots on the skin, but not large patches.
- Choose mangoes that are ripe and yellow, feel firm in hand, with smooth and shiny skin, and the stem end of the mango slightly indented.
- When gently pressing on the mango, you can feel the firmness of the mango flesh; those that are not soft or bruised are good ripe mangoes.
- Avoid choosing mangoes that are bruised, damaged, or have overly smooth, shiny, and flawless skin.

How to choose delicious avocados
- You should choose avocados that feel firm in hand, with plump skin, and no strange marks, holes, or damage.
- When buying, gently squeeze around the avocado; if the flesh inside feels soft but firm, it’s good. When shaking the avocado, you should feel the seed moving slightly.
- If the avocado stem is too large, do not choose it as it is not ripe enough and may be bitter.
- Those avocados that have a noticeable seed sound will have less and thinner flesh, so do not buy them.

How to choose delicious dragon fruit
- Delicious dragon fruit has a large round shape, its skin is smooth and shiny, the fruit’s peel has a uniform and bright color, not bruised or damaged. When you press your hand on it, it should feel moderately soft, a little elastic.
- You should choose fruits with soft and flexible stems and ears. When you bend them with your hand, they should feel pliable, and the color of the stem and ears should be slightly bright, still looking fresh.
- Avoid choosing overly ripe fruits that are too soft, with brittle stems and ears, appearing dry, and with darkened and dried tips that can easily break.
- Do not choose fruits that feel too soft when pressed, leaving purple marks on the skin, and do not choose fruits that are too hard to press at all.

How to make Coconut Milk Fruit Yogurt Ice Cream
-
Cook the coconut milk mixture
Place a pot on the stove and simmer with 400ml of coconut milk, 220ml of fresh milk, 150ml of whipping cream, 250gr of condensed milk, and a little salt. Stir continuously while cooking to ensure the mixture dissolves completely without burning at the bottom of the pot.
Put 50gr of tapioca starch in a small bowl with 150ml of water, stirring until the starch dissolves completely. After cooking the coconut milk mixture for 10 minutes, when you see it starting to simmer, gradually add the tapioca starch while stirring continuously over low heat.
Continue to cook and stir the mixture until it feels heavy, and the mixture is thick and smooth, then adjust the sweetness to your liking and turn off the heat.
-
Mix the yogurt
The coconut milk mixture after cooking until smooth, let it cool slightly. When the mixture is still a bit warm, add 200ml of yogurt and mix well.
-
Prepare the fruits
Wash the purchased fruits and peel them.
Shred the jackfruit, slice the avocado and banana thinly, and dice the mango and red dragon fruit.
-
Pour into molds and chill
In the ice cream mold, arrange the banana slices at the bottom of the box.
Next, drizzle a layer of yogurt mixture to cover the banana slices, then sprinkle in the fruit.
Add some shredded coconut and roasted peanuts on top, then continue to add yogurt to cover the surface.
Repeat the above step until the box is full, then place the ice cream in the freezer for at least 4 hours to freeze before enjoying.
