AMBROSIA (OLD RECIPE)



Ambrosia (old recipe) image

Another recipe from the sixty's that I was given by my Home Economics teacher. There are lots of ambrosia recipes out there but I wanted to post the one I had from 1964. It is simple and easy to make and if you leave out the powdered sugar it is even on the healthy side.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 orange
1 Tbsp coconut, shredded
1 tsp powdered sugar
1/4 c pineapple chunks (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the top from the orange and peel
  • 2. Slice or dice the orange and mix with the shredded coconut
  • 3. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar
  • 4. (Optional)Pineapple chunks may be added (perhaps instead of the sugar)
  • 5. CHILL in refrigerator. NOTE: The recipe actually says "Chill in the refrigerator if possible" -- LOL

Tips:

  • Use fresh fruit. Fresh fruit will give your ambrosia the best flavor. If you can't find fresh fruit, you can use frozen fruit that has been thawed.
  • Don't overcook the fruit. The fruit should be cooked just until it is softened. If you overcook it, it will become mushy.
  • Use a variety of fruits. Ambrosia is a great way to use up leftover fruit. You can use any combination of fruits that you like.
  • Add some citrus. Citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, and limes, add a bright, refreshing flavor to ambrosia. You can use fresh citrus juice or zest.
  • Sweeten to taste. Ambrosia is traditionally made with sugar, but you can use any sweetener that you like. You can also add a little bit of vanilla extract for flavor.
  • Chill before serving. Ambrosia is best served chilled. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Ambrosia is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet, creamy filling and crunchy topping, it's the perfect way to end a warm-weather meal. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing dessert, give ambrosia a try.
