AMBROSIA CREAM PIE
My daughter Adiya (Didi to her friends) brought this recipe home from a cooking demonstration at her school. Mandarin orange segments are hard to get where we live, but this pie is worth every imported can! Prep time includes fridge time.

Steps:
- Chop up orange segments.
- Lightly press the orange pieces and the pineapple between layers of paper towels to remove any excess moisture (you do not want a sopping wet pie).

- Whip the cream until stiff and fold it into the pudding mix.
- Fold in the coconut as well.
- Add the oranges and pineapple and stir well to mix it all through.
- Pour this mixture into the crumb crust.
- Cover with some plastic wrap and let the pie hang our in the fridge until it's firm enough to cut, about 6 hours or overnight.
- Keep it covered and store it in the fridge.
- Garnish with additional whipped topping and coconut.
AMBROSIA PIE
This is a no-bake, semi-frozen pie. The only "cooking" required is toasting the coconut. I just took it to a family reunion 4th of July picnic where there was tons of food - there was nothing left to take home except the pie server. I did not use the "extra serving size" pie crust and there was plenty of filling for 2 regular size pies - just add a little extra whipped topping before serving. Also, next time I make this recipe, I think I will cut each mandarin orange in half. I think it will distribute more evenly in the pie and won't be such a large frozen bite. I did leave out the maraschino cherries - 'cause my honey hates them. I crumbled up the pecan halves on top instead of leaving them whole.

Tips:
- For a creamier filling, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- To make the pie ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, cover it and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- To make a gluten-free pie, use a gluten-free pie crust mix or make your own gluten-free pie crust.
- For a vegan pie, use a vegan butter or margarine and a plant-based milk.
- To add a little extra flavor to the pie, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the filling.
