Buko salad

Buko salad is a yummy Filipino dessert made with a mixture of fruits, young coconut meat, sweetened condensed milk, and cream.

Okay, so imagine you have some fruits like bananas, mangoes, and pineapples. Then you get a coconut that is still young and has white meat inside that is soft and tender. You scoop out the meat, cut it into small pieces, and mix it with the fruits.

Now, here's the fun part – you add in some sweetened condensed milk which is a thick, sticky liquid that is very sweet and yummy. You also add some cream, which is like milk but thicker and richer. Then you mix everything together so that all the fruits and coconut are covered in the sweet and creamy mixture.

Now you have buko salad, which you can eat as a dessert or even as a snack. It's super delicious and perfect for when you want something sweet and refreshing on a hot day.
