This is the best ambrosia I've ever had. If you, like me, thought that making marshmallows was "overboard"- let me leave you with these thoughts. 1 The marshmallows are easy to make. They take time to boil and whip and dry. But none of that is hard. 2 The homemade marshmallows, besides just being a superior flavor, "melt" into the salad in a way that no store bought version can do. THAT makes all the difference in the flavor of this salad. Whereas most ambrosia salads taste like fruit with very cloyingly sweet pops of marshmallows, this version tastes like fruit with this lovely frothy dressing- which is really the dressing mixing with the marshmallows. 3 Alton's marshmallow recipe makes more than you need for this salad, so either plan to make this salad multiple times or use the extra marshmallows for snacking and impressing your friends. Overall, this is one of Alton's best recipes

The recipe was pretty simple--I doubled it for Easter dinner, and everyone loved it. The only draw back was it took me over 40 minutes to get the cream to get thick enough. I almost gave up on it.

I made this today to go with Easter dinner and it came out wonderful! I am usually not a fan of ambrosia but this salad was so much better than the ones I've had before. I was in a hurry, so I used store bought marshmallows and coconut and canned mandarin oranges and pineapple. I made sure to drain the oranges and pineapple well and I also added fresh strawberries and seedless red grapes, quartered. I think you can add whatever fruit you like to this recipe. I used candied pecans which I already had on hand. Perfect recipe! Thank you, Alton!
