Directions
Step 1
Prepare the canned and jarred fruits by draining them thoroughly. Ensure there is no excess liquid to keep the salad from becoming watery.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fruit cocktail, nata de coco, kaong, pineapple tidbits, and diced apples. Gently mix to avoid breaking the fruit.
Step 3
Add the sliced bananas and gently fold them into the fruit mixture to prevent them from mushing.
Step 4
Pour the Nestlé cream (or heavy cream) and sweetened condensed milk over the fruits. Mix until all the fruits are evenly coated in the creamy mixture.
Step 5
Gently fold in the cubed cheddar cheese for added texture and flavor.
Step 6
