Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup macapuno strings, 1 cup pineapple chunks, 1 cup sliced jackfruit, and 1 cup diced ripe mango, gently tossing to mix the fruits evenly.
Step 2: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup all-purpose cream, and 1/4 cup evaporated milk until smooth and creamy. Add 1 tablespoon sugar if additional sweetness is desired.
Step 3: Pour the creamy dressing over the mixed fruits and fold gently until all pieces are thoroughly coated, ensuring not to crush the fruit.
