I’ve always loved this! I don’t like Cool Whip- it tastes like Crisco to me. So I use stabilized whipped cream, but I omit the sugar, since the fruit is so sweet. And I include green grapes, just because they’re so good!

My family has always used a small package of pudding mix blended with 1 cp milk in place of yogurt. The thick pudding mixed with cool whip and fruit makes it creamier and not runny. I use sugar free vanilla or cheesecake flavor.

Ambrosia is my kids all time favorite I make on the holidays as it was mine growing up. My grandma made the sour cream version with the mini marshmallows, I use cool whip

Ambrosia was my favorite my grandmother made every Christmas and Easter. She made the version with mini marshmallows and sour cream

Well my sister is simply obsessed with ambrosia salad & never makes it for some odd reason. Since the family is coming to my apt this holiday season, I figured I’d surprise the woman with one because I’m a nice baby sister lol. I placed sieves over bowls, drained all the cans and then dumped the fruit into each sieve to make sure they were completely drained, and voila; it came out perfect, not runny or thin at all. Confession: I’ve never had ambrosia because I’m not a big fan of marshmallows; however, I might just have to go for it this year. Thanks SO much for the recipe; I’ll be keeping it in my repertoire.

My daughter asked if I’d ever made ambrosia salad. Had to think backwards and then I realized back in the day we called it 7 cup salad.

In reply to Sherri. @Sherri, I too make my ambrosia salad the same as your momma except I leave out the can of mixed fruit.Though I do add a chopped green apple & halved red grape to mine…..So delicious.Its neat to see all the different varieties of ambrosia salad there are.

I should have used greek yogurt! It’s a little too thin. I’m chilling it overnight to have for Thanksgiving! It’s was a special request by my husband, so I think he’ll enjoy it even if it doesn’t thicken up very much. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
