I don't have the words to say how great this dish was!!!! I made the WHOLE thing from scratch, from the homemade mashmallows to the home shredded coconut. And it was worth all of it! The flavor was complex and fantastic. I did make a few a adjustments though. I tossed the shredded coconuts in sugar and I added a little vanilla and almond extract to the whipped cream.Next time i plan to put strawberries in it. This was one of the best things Ive tasted in my life!

I loved using all the fresh ingredients (with the exception of store bought marshmellows and shredded coconut- so much better than any other version I've ever tried. The only thing this recipe was missing was just a little bit of almond extract, I didn't use any nuts but a little extract really pulled all the flavors together.

I remember liking ambrosia as a kid, so I volunteered to make this for a big family gathering. I was kinda worried that it was going to look unappetizing and soggy because I did kinda remember it that way (sorry grandma!. I saw other recipes that called for crushed pineapple and cool whip, but that sounded too sweet and too soggy! With this recipe, I love the idea of the fresh cream with a little bit of sugar in order to give dignity to the fruit. I doubled this exact recipe and made sure to keep my ingredients "chunky" and it turned out beautifully!

This is a variation of something my mom makes called "5 cup salad". I must admit I used mandarin oranges and store bought coconut and marshallows, but it was still delicious. It tastes much better after it chills in the frig for a bit, but it's so hard to wait that long!

Loved the marshmallow recipe! I finally got around to making the ambrosia today. It is SO worth all the effort. Fresh, yummy and oh, so Southern! That's what I love about Alton. He cooks like my grandma and mom, but with actual measurements. Not just looking for a certain "hair-like strand of sugar coming off the spoon, when the sugar syrup is ready" method. That always drove me crazy and I think away from the kitchen. Alton...you're the bomb!

5 stars are just NOT enough for this little taste of heaven!! Did the WHOLE thing from scratch, just like Alton (MY HERO!!!...marshmallows and all (and bless my sweetie for tackling the coconut for me, but what a DIFFERENCE from the store-bought stuff!!. Don't let the marshmallows scare you, they are really easy to make and just melt in your mouth, AND your ambrosia! The worst part is, I have to take this delightful concoction to a Christmas party tomorrow (but oh YEAH I did save some for us!!. Doubled the recipe, no problem. This is going to be one of my favorite treats now, for sure!! =
