Time 47m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 9-inch graham cracker crust
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 (250 g) package cream cheese, softened
3 cups milk
1 (6 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
1 (10 ounce) can mandarin orange segments, drained
2 medium bananas, sliced
1 envelope prepared dream whip dessert topping
2 cups coconut, toasted (I find 1 cup enough)

Steps:

  • Prepare graham crumb crust recipe, adding nuts to mixture.
  • Press firmly into 13 x 9" pan.
  • Chill.
  • Beat cream cheese until soft.
  • Gradually add 1/2 c of the milk, beat until smooth.
  • In seperate bowl, prepare pudding mix as directed on pkg using the remaining 2 1/2 cups milk.
  • Add prepared pudding to cream cheese mixture in three additions, beating on low speed.
  • Fold in oranges.
  • Layer bananas on crust.
  • Spoon pudding mixture over bananas, spread prepared dessert topping evenly over pudding mixture.
  • Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
  • Chill 4 hours.
  • Cut into squares.
  • (for toasted coconut, I usually just put under broiler for a minute or 2 and stir a couple of times, others may choose to'bake' it first).

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has the best flavor and texture for this recipe. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well.
  • Don't overcook the coconut filling. The coconut filling should be cooked until it is just starting to thicken. If you overcook it, it will become too thick and gummy.
  • Chill the squares before serving. This will help them to set and makes them easier to cut.
  • Serve the squares with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious richness to the squares.

Conclusion:

Ambrosia squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a layer of moist cake, a layer of creamy coconut filling, and a layer of fresh pineapple. The squares are then chilled and served with whipped cream or ice cream. Ambrosia squares are a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone.
