Filipino Macaroni Fruit Salad with Only 4 Ingredients
Ingredients:
1. Fruit cocktail
2. Condensed milk
3. Table cream
4. Elbow macaroni
Optional Add-Ons:
- Cheese
- Raisins
- Pineapple tidbits
- Cheese cubes
- Kaong or nata de coco
- Coconut shreds
This recipe is great for you if:
- You don’t have a Filipino or Asian store nearby.
- You’re feeling homesick and miss your mom’s cooking.
- You want an easy dessert for Christmas Eve "Noche Buena", New Year's Eve "Mega Noche", or any holiday.
- You’re cooking for 2 to 4 people and want some leftovers.
I shop at Fred Meyer, and here are the ingredients I used for this recipe:
- 4 cans of Kroger Fruit Cocktail in Extra Light Syrup (15 oz / 425 g)
- 1 can of Nestlé La Lechera Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 oz / 397 g)
- 2 cans of Nestlé Media Crema Table Cream (7.6 oz / 225 ml)
- Kroger Elbow Macaroni (16 oz / 1 lb / 453 g) - you only need half of this
- I also added Havarti cheese, sliced into cubes, as it closely resembles the taste of Eden cheese.
For storage
The recipe fits in a 2-liter (or 8.5-cup) container for storage. Be sure to chill it in the fridge and enjoy it after four hours, or savor it even more the following day.
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients
- Start by draining the juice from the fruit cocktail. Set aside.
2. Cook the Macaroni
- Boil the macaroni until it's al dente. Drain and let it cool. I used 8 oz (226 g), which is just half of the Kroger Elbow Macaroni I purchased, as that was the smallest package available.
3. Combine Everything
- In a large bowl, add the drained fruit cocktail, cooked macaroni and Nestle table cream. Stir until well blended.
4. Adjust the Sweetness
- Add the condensed milk according to your taste preference. Mix gently to ensure that everything is evenly coated.
Add Optional Ingredients: If you like, add any of the optional ingredients such as raisins, pineapple tidbits, cheese cubes, kaong, nata de coco, or coconut shreds. Mix well.
5. Chill in the Fridge
- Transfer the salad to a large container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let the flavors meld.
Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, your Filipino Macaroni Fruit Salad is ready to serve. Enjoy this sweet and creamy treat with family and friends!
This recipe is as easy as it gets, and I hope you love it as much as I do. Happy cooking!
Start a Healthy Regime with a Meal Planner
I don't make meals every day as I like saving my time for other important things that matter to me. Even before we had a baby, my husband and I loved the freedom of not worrying about "what's for dinner". We kept it simple, prepare on the weekends or whenever we're both off and do the meal prep that will last us for days. I also use a weekly meal planner to plan our meals in advance, stay on track with our wellness goals, and ensure that we have all the necessary ingredients. Preparing meals is a great way to ensure you have food to eat when you return from traveling. Just heat it up and enjoy!
To use a weekly meal planner effectively, start by selecting your weekly recipes, creating a grocery list, and then preparing your ingredients in advance. This will make cooking and mealtime easier and less stressful. Remember to be flexible and adjust your plan as needed. Happy meal planning!
