I would like to share the recipe of the dessert from Del Monte kitchenomics that I prepared this Christmas season. It was a successful dessert creation and I can say that it tastes good. Although at first when I tasted it, I don’t taste something special from it but as you munch it together with the cashew, pineapple and Nata de Coco or Kaong it will bring out the special taste in it. This is a very nice sweet dessert for the special season that you can prepare for your family because it requires a little dedication when you prepare it.
Note: It is easy to prepare but it will need a little careful with the mixture of ingredients and you’ll have to be a little creative with the design in the mold. The Pineapple Upside Down Mold is Fruity, nutty jello that’s simply irresistable!
Nutrition: Good source of Vitamin C- helps fight common infections.

This recipe was originally from Del Monte Kitchenomics and I am just sharing it with the successful creation that I prepared this Christmas season when I followed the ingredients and procedure.
Remarks: Instead of using Kaong in the photo I used Nata de Coco because I love the taste of it compared to Kaong but I believe that it would be best to use Kaong in this dessert.
