While we are on the subject of Filipino food, I thought I would share my recipe for Filipino fruit salad. I got it from a Filipina more than 20 years ago. I love it.
Filipino Fruit Salad
4 large cans fruit cocktail (Del Monte is preferred), drained
1 large can crushed pineapple, drained
3 bottles Kaong, drained
3 bottles Nata De Cocoa
1 can Nestle cream
4 packages frozen young coconut, thawed
3-8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
2 large cans whipped cream cheese
1 can Borden’s Eagle Brand milk or other sweetened condensed milk
Mix all together in a large mixing bowl. Serve cold or portion in individual containers and freeze. Serve is partially frozen.
