Ingredients
- 14 ounces can condensed milk
- 12 ounces Can evaporated Milk
- 7.6 ounces can media crema If you can't find Mexican crema, you may use plain or vanilla yogurt instead
- 8 ounces cream cheese block softened (not melted)
- 1 cup pecan cut in small pieces
- 30 ounces can fruit cocktail in syrup (see note #1) (drain & reserve ½ cup of the syrup)
- 4 large red apples cut into chunks (keep the skin for crunchiness)
- 12 to 16 ounces fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces grapes (green preferably)
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened)
- mini marshmallows optional (as much as you want!)
Instructions
- Blend: Add the condensed & evaporated milk, media crema & cream cheese plus ½ cup of the fruit cocktail syrup in a blender or food processor.
- Mix until blended and set aside.
- Toast: In a small skillet, toast the pecans on medium heat for about 2 minutes. Keep moving them around so that they don't burn.
- Mix: In a large bowl, add the rest of the ingredients (see note #2)
- Add the milks mixture and fold all ingredients gently until all fruits are covered.
- Note: Add enough of the cream mixture to cover the fruit. You may have leftover cream mix which can be stored in refrigerator up to one week.
- Refrigerate covered for at least 2 hours to chill.
- Serve cold.
Notes
- Use fruit cocktail or any fruit in syrup like peaches or pineapples.
- To preserve the firmness of the pecans and marshmallows, you can add them at the last minute when serving it.
