Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups fruit cocktail drained
  • 1 cup nata de coco drained
  • ½ cup kaong
  • ½ cup sweet corn kernels
  • ½ cup raisins
  • 1 cup apple cubed
  • ½ cup cheese cubed (optional)
  • 2 packs 250 ml each all-purpose cream
  • 1 can 390 g condensed milk

Instructions
 

Prepare the Fruits

  • Drain the fruit cocktail thoroughly using a strainer.
  • Drain the nata de coco and kaong to remove excess syrup.
  • Peel and dice the apple into bite-sized cubes.

Mix the Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained fruit cocktail, nata de coco, kaong, sweet corn kernels, raisins, apples, and cheese.
  • Gently toss until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Add the Cream

  • Pour in the all-purpose cream.
  • Add the condensed milk.
  • Mix gently until all the fruits are well coated with the creamy mixture.
  • Taste and add more condensed milk if you prefer a sweeter fruit salad.

Chill

  • Cover the bowl or transfer the fruit salad to an airtight container.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture.

Serve

  • Serve well chilled.
  • Garnish with extra cheese cubes or cherries if desired.

Notes

  • Drain all canned fruits thoroughly to prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
  • For the creamiest texture, chill the all-purpose cream before mixing.
  • Add the apples just before mixing to keep them fresh and crisp.
  • You can customize the salad by adding grapes, canned peaches, lychees, shredded young coconut (buko), or maraschino cherries.
  • Refrigerating the fruit salad overnight allows the flavors to blend together, making it even more delicious.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Avoid leaving the fruit salad at room temperature for extended periods to maintain its freshness.
