Knickerbocker is an ice cream sundae dessert from Zamboanga City, Philippines made up of various fresh fruit chunks, flavored gulaman (agar) cubes, and nata de coco in condensed milk topped with strawberry ice cream. The fruits used include mangoes, bananas, dragonfruit, papaya, honeydew melon, apples, grapes, cherries, pineapple and watermelon. Sometimes vanilla or chocolate ice cream may also be used. Nuts are also sometimes added.[1][2][3][4] It has sometimes been regarded as a variant of halo-halo but differs in that knickerbockers don't contain shaved ice. It is most similar to the American and British sundae dessert knickerbocker glory, from which it was derived from. The dish was first popularized by the Hacienda de Palmeras restaurant before spreading throughout the city.[5][6]
