Ambrosia
Ambrosia mixes whipped topping and sour cream with marshmallows, coconut and mixed fruit. Each scoop has citrus, cherries and grapes coated in the creamy base.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 8 Ounces whipped topping thawed
- ¼ Cup sour cream
- 4 Cups mini marshmallows
- ¾ Cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 Cup green grapes halved
- 20 Ounces canned pineapple tidbits drained
- 15 Ounces canned mandarin oranges drained
- 1 Cup maraschino cherries stems removed then halved, rinsed and dried
Instructions
- Add thawed whipped topping to a large mixing bowl.
- Fold in sour cream until combined.
- Fold in marshmallows, coconut, grapes, pineapple, mandarin oranges, and cherries.
- Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Drain fruit well: Let the canned fruits drain in a colander so the cream base doesn’t loosen.
Dry the cherries: Rinse, then pat dry with paper towels so the red syrup doesn’t streak the mixture.
Fold gently: Fold carefully with a rubber spatula so the mandarin segments don’t break up.
Halve grapes evenly: Similar sized pieces mix through better and scoop more neatly.
Stir before serving: I like to chill mine for at least an hour for the flavors to meld. If a little liquid settles, give it a gentle stir before serving.
