This is a sweet Filipino cake recipe that's usually served during Fiestas. It's a delicious recipe that leaves no leftovers during celebrations and still makes your crave for more.I've also tried substitute sugar here after it's cooked and it's still good. Note: Recipezaar doesn't make me post properly at the left side the proper amount of ingredients hence I had to put it at the right side. glazed gelatin mixture calls for: 2 packets of unflavored gelatin.

This was OK, but I actually prefer trifle. It was nice for a change. Thanks for sharing.

    This was so rich and creamy. I like the recipe because of the use of fruit cocktail. Something I eat every week by itself. Now I have a new recipe to use my fruit cocktail with. I made this and shared with my family and everyone just loved it and wanted the recipe for it. Thanks so much for the awesome recipe..

    A very nice recipe indeed. A very easy recipe to put together and it looks so fantastic when serving. I wasnt sure what fruit coktail was, so I used a tropical fruit saIad and also made the custard in my microwave and used a stick blender every so often to blend it, and when custard was quite warm I set the microwave to half power to fisnish the custard and blended again and the custard was perfect (and no lumps!) Everyone loved it here and I have some left for tomorrow, but next time I am going serve with a side of whipped cream! sshhhh!! Wonderful recipe Pneuma, will be making again. Thank You.

    Made & reviewed for my PAC baby! I know this should have been made in a large dish & cut up for serving but it was only DH & I eating so I reduced the recipe & made it in two glasses instead. It was delicious & very simple to make. We found it rich yet still light & I can't wait to make this again in a large dish for guests! Thanks so much Pneuma for another great recipe
