Filipino Desserts

I always look forward to taste Filipino fruit salad in most special occasions. The word “buko” means young, green coconut. Buko is one of the main ingredients of Filipino sweets and deserts.

Here is the recipe of Filipino buko fruit salad. Make your own Filipino buko fruit salad as a tasty treat no matter where you may be in the world.

Ingredients:
1 large can of regular fruit cocktail
1 large can of tropical fruit cocktail
1 package shredded buko (young coconut strips)
1 can of condensed milk
2 cans of all purpose cream
½ or 1 bar of cheddar cheese cut into cubes (optional)

Directions:
1. Drain syrup from fruit cocktails can, shredded coconuts and bottles of nata de coco. Tip: Drain them quickly by combining them all together in a strainer. Leave the ingredients there for 10 to 20 minutes to drain any excess syrup.
2. Place drained fruit cocktails, shredded coconut and nata de coco in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add condensed milk. Mix well.
4. Add all purpose cream and cubed cheddar cheese.
5. Put the large bowl in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour. I prefer to chill the buko fruit salad overnight.
