Ingredients

  • 4 ounces uncooked macaroni pasta
  • 1 can (30 ounces) fruit cocktail, drained
  • 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple tidbits, drained
  • 1 bottle (12 ounces) Nata de coco, drained
  • 1 bottle (12 ounces) Kaong, drained
  • 1 cup cheese, cubed
  • 1 can (14 ounces) table cream
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, bring 2 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook about 1 minute shy of package's directions.
  2. Remove from heat, rinse, and drain well.  Let cool completely.
  3. In a bowl, combine cooked macaroni, fruit cocktail, pineapple, nata de coco, kaong, cheese, table cream, and condensed milk and cream. Stir gently to distribute.
  4. Chill for 1 to 2 hours or freeze until firm.

Notes

  • For best texture, cook the macaroni about a minute shy of package’s directions. You will need about 2 cups cooked.
  • The kaong and nata de coco are usually packed in heavy syrup so make sure to drain well.
  • The salad will taste a little too sweet when just combined but the sweetness will mellow out once the mixture is chilled or frozen.
