Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 can(s) 20 oz each crushed pineapple
2 can(s) 15 oz each mandarin oranges
1 c maraschino cherries - cut in halves can add more if you like
12 oz cool whip - thawed (1 container)
8 oz sour cream (1 container)
1 box instant vanilla pudding (3 1/2 ounces)
8 oz sweet coconut flakes ( 1 bag - i use bakers)
2 1/2 c marshmallows, mini

Steps:

  • 1. Strain your pineapple and orange segments to get rid of extra juice. (I sometimes press on top of friut lightly to help this). You want your fruit as drained as possible, runny ambrosia is yucky :) add the cherries.
  • 2. Strain your pineapple and orange segments to get rid of extra juice. (I sometimes press on top of friut lightly to help this). You want your fruit as drained as possible, runny ambrosia is yucky :) add the cherries.
  • 3. Next fold in the cool whip and the sour cream. Then sprinkle the vanilla pudding and and give it another mix. Add the coconut, you can use more or less depending on how much you like coconut. Then mix it all together.
  • 4. Now I refrigerate overnight and then about 4 or 5 hours before you are ready to serve (in the morning is good)I add the marshmallows. This keeps them from getting too mushy. You can of course add them at the same time as the coconut. It's just a matter of preference Soon into cocktail glasses for a lovely presentation.

Tips:

  • Use ripe oranges: The riper the oranges, the sweeter and more flavorful your pudding will be. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a deep orange color.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: The zest of the oranges contains a lot of flavor, so be sure to zest them before you juice them. You can use a microplane or a zester to do this.
  • Use fresh orange juice: Fresh orange juice will give your pudding the best flavor. Avoid using store-bought orange juice, as it is often diluted with water and preservatives.
  • Don't overcook the pudding: The pudding should be cooked until it is just set. If you overcook it, it will become rubbery.
  • Chill the pudding before serving: The pudding will need to chill for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set and develop its flavor.
