My sister-in-law sent us an SMS asking what we’re bringing to the New Year’s Eve potluck, another in-law's family tradition. I replied “our beautiful selves.” Her answer: “your beauty is good, but we need food.” LOL. Told her we will bring fruit salad. And here’s how I do it:
2 largest can of Del Monte Fruit Cocktail (I'm sure fresh fruits' yummier)
6 – 8 tetra pack of Nestle Cream, chilled
1 medium-sized can of Diamond Shelled Walnuts, chopped coarsely
1 – 2 biggest pack of marshmallows (I usually get the flower-shaped ones from Makati Supermart, I forget the brand)
2 pack Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese (just sliced into small, thin cubes
1 medium-sized can Carnation Condensed Milk
Confectioner's Sugar
Open cans of fruit cocktail and put on colander, 6 – 8 hours (the longer the better).I usually do it overnight so it will be well-drained.
In another bowl, put in chilled cream, mix together with condensed milk. If it’s not sweet enough for you, just sprinkle in some Confectioners sugar, until it reaches the desired sweetness.
Place the drained fruit cocktail in a big container bowl, fold cream on top, mix gently, so you won’t crush the fruits. Add the cream cheese, marshmallow and walnuts (don’t put everything in, leave some for topping). For presentation purposes, put in nice serving dish, sprinkle some marshmallows and walnuts on top.
If you don’t’ plan to finish everything right away, better store in the freezer first.
