How to Make Mom’s Unforgettable Ambrosia Salad

One taste of this Ambrosia, and you’ll crave it all year long! It is unbelievable as a Holiday dessert! So simple to make and so delicious to devour!
~ Kimberly Edwards 🙂

Type: Dessert Recipe
Prep Time: 10 min + 1 hr refrigeration to chill
Yield: 1 large bowl – about 9 cups of dessert

Ingredients:

  • 1 can Mandarin orange sections – No juice; please drain off.
  • 1 can pineapple chunks – No juice; please drain off.
  • 3/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 2 3/4 cups sliced bananas
  • 3/4 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 3/4 cup green seedless grapes
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1-2 cups (depending on your taste) homemade whipped cream

Instructions:

  1. Gently stir together all fruits, marshmallows and sugar. * Tip: Be sure to drain canned fruit. The juice is not needed and will ruin the dessert’s texture.
  2. Then, very gently, fold in the whipped cream. Please see my very easy, Homemade Whipped Cream recipe.
  3. So that the flavors meld together, refrigerate, covered, for 4-10 hrs.   * Tip: You may serve after 1 hr for time purposes, but it tastes even more delicious the longer you’ll be able to wait! 🙂
  4. Serve for dessert or a wonderful treat! Enjoy!

This is so worth the waiting time to chill, but you may not be able to contain yourself. I bet you’ll sneak a bite or 2!
