My mom rarely cooked food (my dad is the cook in the family), but for every major holiday event in my life, she prepared this mouthwatering dessert lovingly called Filipino fruit salad, a concoction of Nestle table cream, condensed milk, and tropical fruits chilled overnight. She even had a special bowl for it that she only prepared her fruit salad.
When you live in Boston, however, Nestle table cream and certain fruits are next to impossible to find so I’ve had to make a couple of adaptations. Over the years, it’s morphed into something Filipino and Bostonian (Bostinoy?). It’s great if you’re looking for a unique dessert or something to bring to a potluck last minute. My friends really like this recipe because it’s different from what they’re used to. Enjoy!
