Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (16 ounce) containers whipped topping
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 (15 ounce) can mixed fruit, drained (optional)

1 (6 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup walnuts (optional) or 1 cup pecans (optional)

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use fresh fruit. Fresh fruit will give your ambrosia salad the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh fruit, you can use frozen fruit that has been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overcook the fruit. If you cook the fruit too long, it will become mushy and lose its flavor. Cook the fruit just until it is heated through.
  • Use a variety of fruits. Ambrosia salad is a great way to use up leftover fruit. You can use any type of fruit that you like, such as oranges, grapefruit, pineapple, grapes, berries, or bananas.
  • Add some nuts. Nuts add a nice crunch and flavor to ambrosia salad. You can use any type of nuts that you like, such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, or pistachios.
  • Add some whipped cream or yogurt. Whipped cream or yogurt will make your ambrosia salad more creamy and decadent. You can also use a combination of both.
