Ingredients

1/2 cup heavy cream

4 ounces sour cream
6 ounces homemade mini marshmallows, approximately 3 cups
1 cup clementine orange segments, approximately 6 clementines
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
1 cup freshly grated coconut
1 cup toasted, chopped pecans
1/2 cup drained maraschino cherries

Steps:

Place the cream and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment and whip until stiff peaks are formed. Add the sour cream and whisk to combine. Add the marshmallows, orange, pineapple, coconut, pecans and cherries and stir to combine. Transfer to a glass serving bowl, cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.

Tips:

Use fresh, crisp apples. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
Peel and dice the apples before adding them to the ambrosia. This will help them to absorb the juices from the other ingredients.
Add a variety of nuts to the ambrosia. Walnuts, pecans, and almonds are all good choices.
Use a variety of dried fruits in the ambrosia. Craisins, raisins, and apricots are all good choices.
Add a little bit of lemon juice to the ambrosia. This will help to brighten the flavors.
Chill the ambrosia before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
