Recipe: Cheesy fruit cocktail ice drop

MANILA, Philippines — In a predominantly sweet and creamy treat or dessert, the contrasting saltiness of grated cheese always makes a big difference.

This is also true when it comes to the Quesorbetes Fruit Salad ice drop created by Chef Jackie Ang Po for Nestle Cream. Yes, it takes on the form of an ice drop, but you can keep it loose and “scoop-able” just like your regular fruit salad.
