Recipe For Ambrosia
Is every ambrosia salad recipe made equal? I think not. This traditional no-bake dessert may seem simple, but without the right ratios and ingredients (plus a few tricks I've perfected over the years), you may end up with a watery or separated mess. I've invested a ton of time into perfecting my ambrosia recipe, and now I'm sharing it with you!
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup sour cream or plain / vanilla yogurt
- 8 oz frozen whipped topping thawed
- 8 oz can pineapple tidbits drained
- 11 oz can mandarin oranges drained
- 2 cups mini marshmallows fruit flavored or regular
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
- 10 oz maraschino cherries drained and cut in half
- ½ cup chopped pecans optional
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit by thoroughly draining.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and whipped topping until well blended.
- Gently fold in the pineapple tidbits, mandarin oranges, mini marshmallows, coconut flakes, maraschino cherries and pecans.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled. This allows the flavors to meld together. Ambrosia salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
