I first came up with this recipe when I was on a trip to Hawaii. I was staying at a bed and breakfast that served a delicious tropical fruit bowl for breakfast every morning. The bowl was always so refreshing and flavorful, and I loved the combination of the sweet fruit and the creamy coconut milk. I decided to try to recreate the bowl at home, and this is the recipe that I came up with. I've been making it ever since, and it's always a hit with my friends and family.
