Filipino Fruit Salad Recipe | Easy Dessert Recipes

I love fruits. And i m crazy about fruit salad. I mean, its such a simpleton of a recipe but still tastes as though you ve slogged for hours in the kitchen when you serve it up cutely in a dessert glass. I knew how to make the regular fruit salad, which was probably the only dessert apart from ice creams, that i ate, about 10 years ago. I knew that other desserts such as tarts and gelatos existed, thanks to Enid Blyton. But then the only ones that i got to devour with fervor was fruit salad and an occasional falooda or a huge ice cream. Daddy always made sure he got a family pack of ice cream. Even though i was the only kid at home. Pampered brat i was.
You need not even doubt if i shared it. No, i dint.

Eventually, as i grew up, i did get to taste a tart here and a sorbet there. But fruit salad remained close to my heart forever and it still is my favorite dessert. When i decided it was time to write about the humble and beloved fruit salad, i knew i dint want a regular version. I wanted to add some zing to the regular fruit salad and thus began my hunt. I came across various recipes and almost decided to make this salad. But somehow it dint fancy me much. So, some more searching later, i was convinced that i had to make a filipino salad. After going through almost 20 recipes for making a filipino salad, i zeroed in on this recipe and added my own touch to it. And it was sensational. So, the next time, you all think of making a fruit salad, try this one!
