Everybody thought that this was the best ambrosia they ever tasted. Personally, I don't like this sort of dessert and never have, but it was such a hit I had to let you know. Try this recipe. You won't be disapointed.

This recipe is very good, but I didn't have all the ingredients so I tried it with fruit coctail and it tasted amazing.

This recipe was okay, but I removed the cherries & sour cream & added sliced almonds. Was a huge hit cause it wasn't too sweet I seemed to bring out the taste of the fruit.

I've been making ambrosia for over 40 years. I use sour cream, but no cool whip. Stiffly beaten heavy whipping cream (unsweetened) is also good, but I prefer the sour cream. It's a matter of personal taste which to use. Also, I use pineapple tidbits instead of chunks and add about 2/3 cup chopped pecans. It is always a hit at the Thanksgiving & Christmas table as a side dish. Be sure and drain well the pineapple, mandarine oranges and cherries (cherries I also cut in half). I use paper towels to get as much excess juice as I can get after draining. Refrigerate drained fruit. Add pecans, coconut flakes and sour cream before serving.
