Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a brighter flavor and more vibrant color than canned pineapple.
  • Choose ripe fruit. Make sure the fruit is ripe and juicy. Unripe fruit will not have as much flavor.
  • Cut the fruit into small pieces. This will help the fruit absorb the marshmallows and coconut.
  • Use a variety of fruit. Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits. Some good options include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and grapes.
  • Chill the ambrosia before serving. This will help the flavors meld together and make the ambrosia even more refreshing.
  • Serve the ambrosia with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This will make the ambrosia even more decadent.

Conclusion:

Pink ambrosia is a delicious and refreshing fruit salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
