- Mix in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
 
- Add dragonfruit puree, sour cream, and lemon juice. Mix until fully incorporated.
 
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
 
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
 
- Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
