Tropical Christmas Fruit Salad
Posted on December 4th, 2008 by Toni
Fruit salad is a very simple Filipino dessert to make. It adds color and sweetness to a noche buena table.

Ingredients:
2 large cans of Del Monte Fruit Cocktail (Imported)
grated Coconut meat from 10 buko (young coconut)
2 cans lychees (optional)
1 small bottle nata de coco (green)
1 small bottle nata de coco (red)
1 small bottle kaong (green)
1/4 kilo seedless grapes
3 small Fuji apples , cubed
1 can condensed milk
2 packs Nestle Cream
1 can Peaches for topping
Few red or green cherries for topping
Directions:
1. Drain the fruit cocktail from the can. Let it sit at least 2 hours to prevent a soggy fruit salad.
2. When all the juices have been drained, mix all the fruits together in a big bowl.
3. Add the condensed milk and cream. Blend well.
4. Transfer to serving bowls and top with peaches and cherries.
5. Freeze or refrigerate properly. Be careful to refrigerate it after it’s done. Buko or coconut meat spoils if not refrigerated or frozen.
