Easy Dragon Fruit Dessert

静
Do you know pitaya? It is a kind of fruit from cactus, also called dragon fruit. Pitaya pulp contains almost no fructose and sucrose, and the sugar is mainly glucose. This natural glucose is easy to absorb and suitable for consumption after exercise. Dragon fruit can be eaten directly after removing the skin. You can also use it to make desserts. I will use pitaya to make a dessert today, a dessert suitable for hot summer days. The recipe uses tapioca starch instead of corn starch, because tapioca starch has greater flexibility in making desserts.
