Another fresh buko (coconut) and fruit salad

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

Ingredients :

the meat from 4 young buko (coconut)
1/2 kilo of seedless grapes (I combined red and green)
2 apples
8 bananas (I used the latundan variety)
3 large sweet ripe (not overripe) mangoes
juice of 1/4 lemon
1 c. of cream, chilled
1 c. of sweetened condensed milk, chilled

Cooking procedure :

Cut the buko into slivers, about half an inch wide and two to three inches long.

Peel and dice the apples.

Peel and cut the bananas into half-inch rings.

Place the diced apples and sliced bananas in a glass bowl and pour in the lemon juice. Toss to coat each piece well. This will prevent discoloration and will add a piquant flavor to an otherwise monotonously sweet dish.

Without peeling, slice the meat from both sides of the mangoes avoiding the stone at the center. Score the meat with a knife in criss cross patterns then scoop out with a spoon.

Rinse and drain the graphes and detach from the stems.

Whip together the cream and sweetened condensed milk.

Place everything in a large bowl and toss together. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

    Hi my aunt once made this for us. She added a little bit of mayo to compliment the sweetness of the condensed milk… was good too. :D

    I was just looking thru some filipino recipies when I came across this one,(buko)fruit salad.here in america we have a very similar desert called ambrosia but more commonly called fruit salad.so it is not odd for foreigners to have a desert called a salad.your version of fruit salad is very similar to the fruit salad here although we dont commonly use mangoes since they can be difficult to find at certain times of the year.we also use pineapples chunks in it as well as cherries.Of course,we don’t have young coconuts here so we have to settle for bagged shreaded coconut,unless you want to try to hammer your way thru the hard shell of a whole coconut.hahahaha.I will be trying your version of this recipe tomorrow after I go to the market .I am also looking forward to trying it when I come back to manila later this year.Thanks for this site.now that I have found it I can start to try different recipies from your wonderful country,Dan

    I’m intrigued by your ‘ambrosia’, Daniel. I’ll try to find it in Google.
