Traditionally made with fruit cocktail, this canned ingredient contains juicy chunks of pineapple, maraschino cherries, and chewy nata de coco. Because it contains so much fruit, it’s also a healthier alternative to other dessert options that you can serve to your family – just think of all the Vitamin C that they’ll get in every delicious spoonful! Vitamin C not only boosts your immunity but helps with iron absorption – an essential mineral for growth and development.

This dessert is easy to make and even easier to eat, requiring little more than patience and the right ingredients on hand. Luckily, the staples for a basic Filipino-style fruit salad can be found in virtually every local supermarket.

While some families have their own takes that add cheese or raisins to this classic Filipino dessert, the original recipe is a harmonious marriage of cream and fruit that needs nothing else to make it tasty.

Here’s a recipe for Filipino-style fruit salad that’s easy to follow, using Del Monte’s canned Fiesta Fruit Cocktail. The Fiesta Fruit Cocktail has high-quality papaya, cherries, pineapple, and nata de coco. If you can’t find any Del Monte Fiesta Fruit Cocktail, you can use other brands – just make sure that you get a can of the same weight as specified in the recipe.
