Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 cup pecans (chopped into small pieces)
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cans (7.6 oz) media crema or heavy cream (equivalent amount)
- ⅓ cup of the pineapple juice from the can
- 2 green apples (cut into small cubes)
- 2 red apples (cut into small cubes)
- 1 20 oz can pineapple chunks
- ½ cup dried raisins or cranberries
Instructions
- 1
Toast the pecans in a skillet over medium heat until browned (one shade darker than they originally were) and fragrant, about 2 to 5 minutes.
- 2
In a large bowl, add the crema, condensed milk and pineapple juice. Whisk until all ingredients are incorporated.
- 3
Cut the apples in ½ in cubes and add to the milk mixtures as you cut them one at the time. This will prevent the apple from turning brown.

Add the remaining ingredients and mix gently with a spatula.

Reserve in refrigerator and chill for 1 hour or overnight.
