Ambrosia Fruit Salad

a bowl of creamy ambrosia fruit salad with marshmallows, coconut and a whipped cream and yogurt dressing
  • Serves:  10
  • Prep Time:  20 min
  • Cook Time:  0 min

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 sweet crisp apple, cored and diced
  • ¾ cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 (11-ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained well
  • 1 (8-ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained well
  • 1 (10-ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained well (optional)
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Method

  1. Place the whipping cream in a large bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute more. (Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.) Gently fold in the yogurt until just combined. 
  2. Place the apple, shredded coconut, mandarin oranges, pineapple, cherries, if using, and marshmallows in a large serving bowl. Add the yogurt mixture and gently stir until evenly distributed. Chill for 30 to 45 minutes before serving. 

Notes

This can be prepped the night before! Just leave the marshmallows out and cover with plastic wrap before storing in the fridge. Fold in the marshmallows just before serving.
