Yet another hit at Filipino parties, this Filipino fruit salad recipe is an easy-to-make dessert not only for homey parties, but also, big celebrations! And what makes it so great is that there’s actually no cooking involved. It’s perfect for those who aren’t great in the kitchen.
Again, keeping in touch with the Filipino sweet tooth, the ingredients in this fruit salad recipe are all sweet and store-bought, making it very accessible, especially if you’re rushing to get everything done for your 7-year-old’s birthday party.
You’ll need canned fruit cocktail, all-purpose cream (a heavy cream used to give the fruit salad texture and for it to hold the fruits together once the salad solidifies in the refrigerator), and canned condensed milk, which is just heavy, sweetened milk.
If you’re feeling bold, then you can add diced cheese and apples into the fruit cocktail!
If you like Filipino fruit salad, then try the Buko Salad (another fruit salad type but with buko and macaroni)
Filipino fruit salad recipe preparation
To follow this Filipino fruit salad recipe, drain the fruit cocktail of its juice and transfer it into a mixing bowl. Add the all-purpose cream and the condensed milk, and mix all 3 ingredients together.
You can add more all-purpose cream or condensed milk, depending on your taste. After mixing all of ingredients well, you can now refrigerate it and serve it chilled the next day.
