Fruit Salad

One of the all time favorite Filipino dessert  is the fruit salad which is made out of fruit cocktail and cream.  Aside from being delicious, it is easy to prepare and easy on the pocket.

For less than a thousand pesos, this can generously serve 30 pax (or upto 50 pax when pre-served in a small cup).

Ingredients:

6kgs (2 large cans) del monte fiesta fruit cocktail (P204 x 2)

2000ml (8 packs) nestle all purpose cream (P46.5 x 8)

450ml (1 and half can) carnation condensed milk (P48.5 x 2)

24oz (2 bottles) nata de coco (P40.75 x 2)
2 cups grated fresh coconut meat

1. Open the fruit cocktail and nata de coco.  Pour onto a coliander, to drain the syrup for about an hour.

2. In a big bowl or tupperware, place the drained fruit cocktail, nata de coco and coconut.

3. Add in the cream.

4. Add the condensed milk to desired consistency and taste. Toss the mix all ingredients.

5. Chill overnight then serve cold. 

Tips: 

If it tastes too milky, it means, there's too much condensed milk.  You may add more cream in that case.  Thus, it is best to add the condensed milk gradually to desired taste and consistency.

You may also add other ingredients like kaong and kennel corn or fresh fruits for added texture.

Avoid freezing it as it becomes watery when thawed.
