Ambrosia

I've had it before pre-made at the local grocery.
Today was the day I decided to make it myself.
I looked up recipes but they varied on ingredients.

I even googled "ambrosia definition".
Some say it includes oranges and coconut.
While others added banana to the mix.

Myself what I remembered was some of Randy's favorites:
pineapples, cherries, miniature marshmallows and coconut.
So those are the ingredients I ended up using.

The final question was what to use as the base.
Some recipes said sour cream while others said whipping cream.
And I found a couple that suggested plain yogurt.

I did end up using Cool Whip - light will work fine!
But in the future may try banana flavored yogurt.
Will post final recipe on other blog after we try it.

Back to what is "ambrosia".
Some say it is just a fruity dessert while others call it a salad.
To each their own. Maybe it will be good for snacking!!!

Update: named my version Blissful Ambrosia
