    I loved this salad from the first time my mother-in-law served it. I do need to tell all of you though, that I did get some surprised reactions from the people who were expecting it to be whipped cream instead of sour
    cream. They seemed to get a little green around the gills. Now I'm hesistant to serve it. So happy to read all the good reviews. It truly is the ambrosia of the gods.

    I have been looking for this receipe for a long time. My mother use to make this all the time when I was little. My mother died when I was 22 and her receipes were lost. I am now 65 and so excited that I can now share this receipes with my three daughter-in-laws and grandchildren.

    There are always way to add "just that little extra"...if you add maraschino cherry juice to the heavy cream affter it has been beaten, it adds color and if you get the chance to buy colored/flavored marshmallows, it adds flavor and additional color to the dish...drain all your fruit very well because it will make your dish runny if you don't.

    I have to admit that I used store-bought marshmallows, canned mandarin oranges and shredded coconut, but it turned out fantastic! An amazing thing happens after a few hours of refrigeration - the marshmallows take on an amazingly fluffy texture and the Ambrosia is totally amazing! Thanks, Alton, for another wonderful recipe!

    I tried this recipe for Christmas day dessert, and I can honestly say it was the most unsuccessful dessert I have ever made. That said, it might have been partly my fault. First, I doubled the recipe to accommodate a larger group. Second, I used clementines and a few blood oranges. Third, I struggled with the coconut, so instead of it being grated, it was finely chopped. Fourth, I combined the clementine segments and pineapple pieces about three hours before making the rest of the dish. In the end, there were far too many nuts and not enough of the cream mixture to bind the whole dish. By the next day it was completely watered down.
