Instructions

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup drained macapuno strands, 1 cup drained pineapple tidbits, 1 cup diced ripe mango, 1/2 cup sweetened nata de coco, and 1/2 cup mini marshmallows. Gently fold together.
Step 2: Add 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk and 3/4 cup all-purpose cream to the fruit mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated and creamy.
Step 3: If desired, sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped cashews or peanuts on top for added texture. Cover and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to become refreshingly cold.
