EXTREME AMBROSIA FRUIT DESSERT
This is so delicious, and makes a ton of ambrosia, but recipe may be cut in half if desired to serve about 4-6 people, I like to use coloured mini marshmallows --- plan ahead this needs to chill for minimum 2 hours, prep time includes chilling time.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice ginger into 1/8-inch rounds. Place ginger slices, granulated sugar, and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer; stir to dissolve sugar. Continue to simmer until mixture tastes strongly of ginger, about 20 minutes. Strain, and transfer ginger syrup to refrigerator to chill.
- Pierce one of the soft coconut eyes with a screwdriver or ice pick. Drain the liquid, and discard. Repeat with remaining coconuts. Wrap a coconut in a kitchen towel; twist the ends of the towel, and gather them to form a handle. Bang the coconut against the floor until it cracks in half. Repeat with remaining coconuts.
- Use the two most imperfect halves to make the shavings for garnish. Place these halves, flesh side down, on a baking sheet; place in oven. Bake about 20 minutes, until coconut flesh begins to pull away from shell. Remove from the oven, and let cool 5 minutes. Pry the coconut flesh away from shell in pieces that are as large as possible. Using a Japanese mandoline or a vegetable peeler, shave coconut into long strips. Place shavings in an even layer on a baking sheet. Return to oven; toast until golden around the edges, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss plums, nectarines, kiwis, blackberries, pineapple, and oranges with 1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut and the reserved ginger syrup.
- Place cream, confectioners' sugar, and amaretto, if using, in a chilled mixing bowl. Whisk until stiff peaks form. Place remaining coconut halves in bowls. Place 2 tablespoons of remaining shredded coconut and a dollop of whipped amaretto cream into the bottom of each coconut half. Spoon fruit mixture and syrup into coconut halves; top each with another dollop of cream. Garnish with a handful of toasted coconut. Serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit. This will give your ambrosia the best flavor and texture.
- Choose a variety of fruits. This will make your ambrosia more visually appealing and flavorful.
- Cut the fruit into small, bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and will help the fruit to absorb the dressing.
- Use a light dressing. You don't want to overwhelm the fruit with a heavy dressing.
- Chill the ambrosia before serving. This will help the flavors to blend and will make the dish more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Ambrosia is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet, refreshing flavor and beautiful presentation, ambrosia is the perfect dish to serve at any summer gathering. So next time you're looking for a light and delicious dessert, give ambrosia a try. You won't be disappointed!
