Here in our country we have this dessert-snack called halo-halo, which is a mix of boiled red mug beans, sugar palm fruit( kaong),coconut sport(macapuno),jackfruit, banana, tapioca, nata de coco, purple yam(ube), crushed young rice(pinipig), custard, ice cream, gelatin, shaved ice and condensed milk or evaporated milk. In terms of arrangement, the beans and fruits are placed first inside a tall glass followed by shaved ice, then sprinked with sugar and topped with either or a combination of ice cream, custard and purple yam. condensed milk is then poured into the mixture before serving.. What's your countries favorite snack??

The food in my country is not very exciting. I think a favourite dessert here would be chocolate fudge cake, apple pie and custard and possibly trifle. Trifle is good. It would be my personal favourite. Your dessert sounds really good and a bit more healthier than ours would be. I do like fresh fruit salad, but the fruit here these days does not taste very good.

It has fruit in it. It is jelly with sponge cake pieces, custard, fresh cream and fruit. Sorry I should of explained trifle to you before. It is really good, but very unhealthy. I love it though, but not too often do I have it. It is popular here.
