Create ambrosia salad: blend fruit, whipped cream, marshmallows, and almonds for a nostalgic treat.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 (15-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 (15-ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
  • 1/2 cup maraschino cherries, halved
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 apple (any kind will do), peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds
  • For the whipped cream dressing:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions:
  • Toast the coconut in a dry medium skillet over medium-low heat until fragrant and light brown, stirring regularly to prevent burning. Watch closely, as it can quickly turn brown in 2 to 3 minutes. This step is optional but enhances the coconut's flavor.
  • Combine the toasted coconut with the orange segments, pineapple chunks, cherries, mini marshmallows, apples, and almonds in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Prepare the whipped cream dressing: In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or using a hand mixer, beat heavy whipping cream on high for 2 to 3 minutes until it begins to thicken. Add sour cream and sugar, then whip until the mixture is smooth yet forms firm peaks. Avoid overmixing.
  • Incorporate the whipped cream mixture gently into the fruit and nut mixture.
  • Serve right away: Enjoy promptly, or within a few hours of preparation. Store any extra ambrosia salad in the refrigerator for up to two days. If you enjoyed the dish, please consider rating it and sharing your feedback below!
