Do you ever have one of those days when your professional life completely interrupts your personal life? Today has been one of those days. I have been stuck in meetings and all I want to do is search for recipes. Yes, I know I should be working but I get most of my brain storming of recipes tend to be at work. So as I am fidgeting and wishing I wasn't stuck in meetings, I ponder various recipes I would like to try or dishes I crave. During my 9 in the morning meeting (btw this is my breakfast time, so by than I'm starving), I started to crave Filipino fruit salad that I made on Mother's Day. This dish is one of those dishes that brings you back to your childhood and when I have it now, I try to pretend it is "healthy" for me minus the condense milk :D. The recipe is pretty simple and I may make it tonight, if I get all the ingredients.
Filipino Fruit Salad
Ingredients
1 Can of Condense Milk
1 Package of Cream Cheese
2 Cans of Fruit Salad
2 Mangoes (diced)
1/2 A Jar of Macapuno (If you could get fresh, it would be better)
1/2 A Jar of Sugar Palm Fruit or kaong
*You could put any fruit you would like. I tend to put any fruit I have in the house.
Directions
- Combine the condense milk and cream cheese completely.
- Add the fruit to the condense milk mixture and incorporate thoroughly
- Chill in until it is ready to be served. I generally let it chill overnight.
Now off to yet another meeting :(
I haven't had the "Filipino Fruit Salad" in a while. Love this recipe, especially the "kaong". Thank you for sharing. You gave me an idea for "Father's Day" dessert.
ReplyDeleteI make these with lots and lots of kaong!!! Sometimes I actually just eat kaong with thick cream... and maybe a bit of fruits added. Mmm I love this!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I have the same problem when I was at work - couldn't stop thinking about food & recipes.
ReplyDeleteThe fruit salad looks amazing. Thanks for sharing :)
@Cook wtih Madin - I love sugar palm. I always have a stash of it in my fridge.
ReplyDelete@Trisha - I never had it with just this thick cream. I have to try it.
@Emily - I'm always thinking about food. It is becoming a slight obsession.
