The first time I tasted this I had to get the recipe(be warned, it's not diet-friendly food LOL). I believe they're different variations of this dessert.

Just mix the following ingredients together and let it sit overnight in the fridge to chill.

2 large cans of fruit cocktail(Drain well)
1 package of shreddded young coconut(Thawed & Drained)
1 can condensed milk
2 cans of Nestle Cream
2 bottles of Nata De Cocoa(Drain well)

NB.: I prefer to use one can of Regular Fruit cocktail and one can of Tropical Fruit Cocktail.

Hi, how about a variation of the recipe? Smile
I always add julienned jackfruit preserves, chopped peanuts, raisins and sweet yellow corn. Instead of using a whole can of condense milk, you can just keep on adding a little at a time until you achieve the desired sweetness. This is how my mom prepares her buko salad.

Thanks so much. Where I live, in North Carolina, I'm not sure that we even have such a thing as an Asian market. I'll have a look at Whole Foods or Fresh Market. We have lovely supermarkets with a wide range of ethnic foods now, but I haven't seen either of these items yet. Now I have a quest!
