easy-peasy sweet macaroni

the mister and i have an incurable sweet tooth. he loves his white chocolate and i simply adore my cheesecakes! now we know sugar is a big bad wolf because it makes u huff and puff but... these two little piggies say, "just a little doesn't hurt anyone". everything in moderation is our motto :)

and so it was that during the holidays, a good friend gave us a bowlful of sweet macaroni salad, a popular Filipino dessert. it was so good that i finished it in 10 seconds flat! (whatever happened to moderation?) the mister didn't even have a chance to taste it! so i decided i would make our own and see if its a thumbs up

i followed my friend's recipe but i also added some ingredients to make it my own
ingredients
1 cup elbow macaroni, cooked according to packet (i didnt have elbow macaroni so i used our shell pasta)
half a cup thick cream
half a cup condensed milk
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
half a cup of raisins
half a cup of preserved peaches, cut into chunks (you can also use other fruits like apples, grapes, pears as well as the normal ripe ones)
1 tin of fruit cocktail
half a cup of cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
procedure
once the macaroni is done, mix everything up and refrigerate for at least an hour. serve and enjoy!

there is also a non-sweet version and is an excellent accompaniment to a variety of main courses. and since this doesn't contain white chocolate, the mister was just "ok" with it. good enough for me because i want the whole bowl all to myself!
