Our fruit salad is typically consist of fruit cocktails, all purpose cream and condensed milk and chilled before serving. A great dessert to battle this so hot summer. What if this chilled dessert is serve hot? This hot fruit salad recipe is still a perfect dessert.

My first encounter with hot fruit salad or hot salad was during my college days in Wai Ying in Binondo. Their version of hot fruit salad is like that of a deep fried pocket pie. When I sliced it in half, steam came out and hot oozing creamy filling gushed out of the pie. Its really hot and yet so delicious even during hot season.

My version of hot fruit salad is rolled in lumpia or egg roll wrapper then drenched into cornstarch and cinnamon breading. Deep fried and served with simple vanilla cream dipping sauce. Though, its really hot today, who cares! It’s really good.
