The best Ambrosia Salad recipe is made with pineapple, mandarin oranges, yogurt, mini marshmallows, coconut and whipped cream. This easy side dish has a delicious tropical sweetness and is always a crowd favorite!
What’s not to love about fluffy desserts that can pass as a “salad” side dish, like this Frog Eye Salad or cranberry fluff salad we serve at Thanksgiving and Christmas?
I particularly love Ambrosia Salad during spring time, Easter or Mother’s Day celebrations because the soft pastel colors are so fun. Many recipes for ambrosia salad use cool whip, but if you’ve followed my blog at all, you know I would never use cool whip when I could substitute fresh whipped cream. The taste is so much better!
How to Make Ambrosia Salad:
Whipped Cream: Add whipping cream to a large bowl or stand mixer and beat with electric beaters for 1-2 minutes. Slowly add powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in yogurt.
Add Fruit: Drain canned fruits very well, then add remaining ingredients to a large serving bowl.
Chill and Serve: Fold in whipped cream mixture. Chill this easy ambrosia salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Make Ahead Instructions:
This classic Ambrosia Salad recipe can be made several hours or up to 1 day ahead of time, but for best results, leave the marshmallows out and stir them in just before serving.
