Hello, I'm Ping Joven welcome to Pinoy Desserts the home of Filipino Dessert Recipes, I love sweets and I love to share my goodies with my family and friends. I’ve spent so much time in our kitchen even though I don’t have formal cooking education, but I cook and bake a lot. I have a large collection of cookbooks. I love watching Foodnetwork Channel & YouTube cooking videos it helps me develop my skills. To my fellow home cooks and home-bakers we should keep doing what we love and enjoy being creative in the kitchen. I also love taking photos of my food but, I’m not a good photographer, so I just hope and pray that my food will make you hungry, so you won’t notice my bad composition LOL. And lastly, please have mercy on my poor writing skills, English subject has always giving me a headache and as I compose this bio I can feel a migraine starts to kick in LOL.
Thanks for visiting, have a nice day and may the blessings chase you today!
Your recipes look delicious and easy. I like the instructions with pictures, it makes it easy to follow. I will be trying it soon. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for visiting, I hope you can share a photo of your crema de fruta. In case you can’t find broas you can also use sponge cake in this recipe, so goodluck and enjoy your cooking. Wish to hear from you soon, thanks!
Nakakatuwa po na step by step ay may picture, madali lang masundan. .ask ko lang po, where did you buy the ladyfingers?
Hi Cath, sa grocery meron nasa cookies and biscuits section. You can also buy at any bakeshop, hindi sya mahirap hanapin and you can also use sponge cake.
I know know that this is the right recipe for crema de fruta. I tried to do it many time but I’m always failed. Thanks for sharing
Hi Henry, I know this time you won’t fail as long as you don’t over dipped “too wet” your ladyfingers your Crema de Fruta will turn out great 🙂
Like your Picture its looks like Yummy thanks for the recipe
Will attempt this morsel for after Sunday roast.Tx
Like your recipe thanks for Sharing
I wish I have a budget so I can make this special dessert to my family during weekends
I love fruit, and sponge cake, my friend is from Costa Rica, and she uses a lot of the same recipes. Thanks, I will make this!
perfect for christmas,.
I am not fond of fruit cocktail, but I would like to make this with just some peaches or apricots. Seems as if it would be a little like tiramasu.
kakatakam naman,.
Tried making it using similar ingredients as I had no idea what exactly they are. My only guide is the taste LOL … It turned out good but I will always be happy to come up with the real thing. I’m making one tonight…Thanks for sharing
can i also use loaf bread as substitute for broas or sponge cake?
Hi Jona, haven’t tried loaf bread on this recipe but a good alternative for this is Chiffon Cake.
which is more affordable between the 3 lady fingers “broas”, sponge cake or chiffon cake?
I’m really excited to have this accomplish for new year’s eve!!! i want to go different from the usual graham…
Hi, I think Lady Fingers is cheaper than sponge and chiffon cake. Happy New Year to U & your Family!!!
Yes you can use bread especially monay or hawaiian bread or brioche. You can also use boxed yellow cake or store bought pound cake or chiffon cake. Also you can use plain vanilla ice cream (with eggs in it) instead of making the custard.
Hi, thanks for sharing vanilla ice cream with egg as a substitute, sounds super easy and yummy.
hi i love the recipe, if i will use chiffon cake or if i make my own sponge cake, what is the proper way to dip it to the fruit cocktail juice? i feared that i might over soaked it.. thanks in advance
Hi Herly, don’t dip the cake, it will turn mushy… you can lightly spray or drizzle the juice with a spoon just enough to moisten the cake. Thanks for dropping by and hope you will love my recipe. Have a nice day 🙂
I hope readers really pay attention, when you mentioned to just use a spoon to apply lightly the syrup on top of the lady fingers. To avoid it being mushy. I plan to make this for family . I’m so anxious to try this recipe out. Thanks for your recipe.
Hi, that time I remember I don’t have a brush for syrup, so I use a spoon and a little amount of syrup just to moistened those lady fingers. Although mine didn’t turn mushy, but you are right, I should have recommended using a brush. Now I’m going to correct my post, thank you 🙂
how did you get the glaze with gelatin to “set” when it had kiwi fruit in it?
Whenever i try and use kiwi fruit with gelatin, it always stays liquid like when I try to use fresh pineapple and fresh papaya.
I would like to know because when I make gelatin (jello) with fresh kiwi fruit, it never seem to setup (gel) and work for me. So I must be doing something wrong.
Hi KP, when you’re adding fruits into your gelatin make sure you drain it well using a strainer. Let is drain until all the juices from the fruit are extracted before adding or using them. Just follow the instructions at the back of your Jello box and it will set perfectly. Be reminded that fresh or canned fruits such as Pineapple, Mangoes, Peaches, Kiwis, Papayas and other fruits are high in water content so make sure to drain it well before adding into your gelatin mixture. Have a nice day KP and thanks for visiting 🙂
Thanks for sharing, im going to try this. How many days can we keep it in the fridge? Thanks
