Have you ever had that marshmallow filled cherry confection that little old ladies like to make at every picnic/church function/family reunion ever? Noticed that it's really hit and miss: sometimes delicious, sometimes like munching on pink socks?
Following is my family fool-proof recipe for delicious Ambrosia (for that is what my grandma called it) Feel free to play with the amounts until you get what's just right for you.
Ingredients:
1/2 c heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp sugar
4 oz sour cream
1 1/2 c mini-marshmallows
1/2 c well drained mandarin oranges
1/2 c crushed pineapple
1/2 c coconut flakes
1/2 c pecan pieces
1/2 c drained maraschino cherries (don't drain too well: the juice gives this dish the signature pretty pink color)
Directions:
Whip cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Add sour cream and whisk to combine. Add everything else and stir well until completely combined. Transfer to a glass or melamine bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best)
