- 850 grams Fruit cocktail, canned (drained)
- 250 ml Nestlé cream or heavy cream
- 300 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 200 grams Nata de coco, drained
- 200 grams Kaong (sugar palm fruit), drained

- 150 grams Cheddar cheese, cubed
- 2 pieces Fresh apples, diced

Instructions
Prepare the canned and jarred fruits by draining them thoroughly. Ensure there is no excess liquid to keep the salad from becoming watery.
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.
Add the sliced bananas and gently fold them into the fruit mixture to prevent them from mushing.
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.
Gently fold in the cubed cheddar cheese for added texture and flavor.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until cold.
Before serving, top with maraschino cherries for a festive touch.
Serve cold as a dessert and enjoy!
