Grandma's Ambrosia Salad
Report
My grandma's recipe for the iconic light and refreshing dessert that includes mandarin oranges, coconut, marshmallows, pineapple, and whipped topping.
Share:
Ingredients
- 11 ounce can mandarin oranges drained
- 8 ounce can crushed pineapple drained
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 8 ounce container cool whip
Instructions
- Place the oranges, pineapple, coconut and marshmallows in a large bowl. Add the Cool Whip and, using a rubber spatula, gently fold the mixture until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Ambrosia can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Nutritional values are based on one serving
- Fruit Options: Fresh orange segments, maraschino cherries, bananas, strawberries, grapes, or canned fruit cocktail.
- Dressing Options: Pudding, cream cheese, yogurt, sour cream, or Jello.
- Cool Whip Alternative: Use homemade whipped cream in its place.
- Freezing Instructions: I only recommend freezing ambrosia if you use all canned fruit and Cool Whip. Using fresh fruit and/or homemade whipped cream can cause it to be soggy and watery when thawed.
- Make-Ahead: This can be mixed together and refrigerated the day before serving.
- Storage: Ambrosia can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
