How to Make an Ambrosia Fruit Salad

Ambrosia Fruit Salad is a great, quick and easy-to-prepare dessert. Serve it any time you want something that has a "slightly sweet and tangy" taste.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 15 oz. can of fruit cocktail
• 20 oz. can of crushed pineapple
• 15 oz. can of orange slices
• 4 bananas
• 10.5 oz. bag of mini- marshmallows
• 7 oz. bag of shredded coconut
• 1 lb. container of sour cream (or light sour cream)
• Basic Equipment: big mixing bowl, big stirring spoon, can opener, aluminum foil

1. Open all fruit cans. (Keep the juices.)

2. Pour fruits into the mixing bowl (one can at a time), including the juices.

3. Slice all bananas and add to the bowl.

4. Stir and mix all ingredients in the bowl so far.

5. Add the sour cream to the bowl and stir and mix thoroughly.

6. Fill the empty sour cream container with water and add to the bowl. Stir and mix thoroughly.

7. Add about 1/2 of the shredded coconut to the bowl and stir and mix well.
   (You can add a little more if you really like shredded coconut and want your fruit salad to come out a little thicker.)

8. Finally, add about 3/4 of the bag of marshmallows to the bowl and stir well.
   (If you really like marshmallows, add the whole bag.)

9. If the mixing bowl has a matching cover, cover the bowl with it. (If there is no matching cover, just cover the bowl with aluminum foil.)

10. Refrigerate the fruit salad for at least 4 hours or overnight.

11. Serve in medium-size serving bowls and enjoy!

Tips & Warnings

• Try to finish eating all of the Ambrosia within 3-4 days before the bananas start to become too ripe.
