Ingredients
3/4 cups heavy cream (180ml)
1/4 cup powdered sugar (35g)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream (120g)
11 oz can mandarin oranges, well drained (312g)
10 oz ¾ cup maraschino cherries (without stems)
1 8 oz can pineapple tidbits, well-drained
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut (120g)
4 cups mini marshmallows¹ (200g)
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:50 Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat until mixture is thick, billowy, and the consistency of Cool Whip.
01:44 Stir in sour cream.
02:05 In a separate bowl, stir together oranges, cherries, pineapple, coconut, and mini marshmallows.
03:01 Add whipped cream/sour cream mixture and stir until completely combined.
03:25 Cover bowl and chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
¹I like to use the rainbow/fruit flavored mini marshmallows for more of a tropical flavor, but classic white mini marshmallows work just as well!

Basically any day that ends in ‘’y’’. ..lol
Your recipe popped up in today’s feed
My aunt used to make this for me as a child , this brought back sooooo many lovely memories
I just lost her 6/29 at the age of 100!
Ty so much for sharing your delicious recipes!
I’m making your cowboy caviar today!
Ty again!
I’m so sorry for your loss. 😔😔 I hope you enjoy all of the recipes. 😊
Ambrosia salad is so good! Great for a summer treat. Another favorite is, pistachio delight, it is a great dessert for summer.
"Here, Ernie. Have some of this ambrosia!"
"I don't even like ambrosia!"
"Don't tell me you don't like ambrosia! You had some before, and you liked it!"
"Oh, so now I'm a child. I don't know what I like!"
Lol! Nutty Professor reference.
Love ambrosia salad or 24 hour salad as it is also sometimes called as it does taste better after 24 hours in the fridge. My Mom since the1960s always made it with sour cream only as there is enough sugar in the fruit and marshmallows and I make it the same way. We always have it for Easter and Christmas whenever we have ham.
Same, my mom only used sour cream but colored marshmallows and it was always smooth enough.
Trying this recipe out for thanksgiving. Thanks !
I hope you love it! 😊
A new favorite for my extended family 💕 Thank you so much for this recipe!!
I’m so glad everyone enjoys it so much! 😊
Best recipe for Ambrosia salad! Thank you!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Great and easy recipe. Tastes delicious.!! Hate to have to wait for the ambrosia salad to chill and meld the fruits and whipped cream. This is a heavenly salad!!!! Thank you!!👍👍👍👏👏👏😍😍!!!!!
You’re welcome!!
I used to adore this salad when I was a child but I haven’t seen or heard of it in years, thank you for sharing. Your recipe!
You're welcome! I hope you love it! :)
I made your recipe and is super delicious!! 😋 Your dressing give a better taste to the fruit salad and is super easy. Thank you 🐾
You are welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😊
This is just what I was looking for. An ambrosia salad without Cool Whip and without any artificial colored puddings thank you so much I'm making this for Easter
I really don’t like cool whip. I avoid it at all costs. I hope everyone loves it! 😊
Hi..i use one flavored Yogurt
And when we had less money i used a lg can of fruit(like for unexpected funeral gathering at your hs😰😱
I have to try this.I bet the grandkids would love it.
I bet they will! 😊😊
Just made this and it is amazing. I couldn’t wait to try it and it’s delicious. I can’t imagine how great it will be in a few hours. Thanks for the recipe !
I’m so glad you enjoyed it so much!😊😊
Hey Girl!!! Thanks for posting this wonderful Ambrosia Salad recipe!! Going to use your recipe from now on!!!
I hope you love it! 😊
Delicious! I have never made this with fresh cream, but I will never make it with cool whip again.
Thanks!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
My mother used to make this when I was small. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
Food has a wonderful ability to bring back great memories doesn’t it? 😊
@@SugarSpunRun it really does.
@@SugarSpunRun @Sugar Spun Run Your response made me tear up, I very much agree. It's also a good way to remember and stay in touch with the ones we've loved and lost
It’s really amazing. 😊😊
This brought back such good memories for me. My Grandma would make this every Christmas. Homemade whip topping is the best. She added chopped apples and sliced bananas and chopped walnuts to her's. I prefer the white marshmallows. It was so delicious!
Ooo that sounds so tasty! Food really does a great job of bringing everyone together. :)
I use only sour cream as the binder. It counteracts all the sugar.Refrigerate mixture over night.Its light and fluffy.Halve the cherries.
I’ve tried lots of variations on ambrosia salad and I think this one is the BEST! It’s addicting! Who doesn’t love this? No one! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I'm so glad you like it so much!
I'll be making this for Christmas! Thank you for sharing your recipe! 😊🎄🎄😊
I think you'll love it! :)
Thank you
Ok, you had me at "homemade whipped cream" 🤤🤤🤤
Enjoy! :)
Edward Scissorhands!
Perfect!
Can’t wait to make this, thank you for sharing 😋
I hope you love it! 😊
Looks delicious
Thank you!
This reminds me of family reunion potlucks when I was a kid. It also reminds me of Edward Scissorhands.
Thanks for sharing i'm going to try your recipe because it reminds me of my older cousin recipe the marshmallows sour cream mixture she'd serve at summer time Family reunions
I hope you love it! :)
I tried it and it tastes great. Easy to make.
Great to hear!
Too sweet, Edward.
Made this today
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@SugarSpunRun going to erase all the other recipes. This one is a WINNER :) thank you
This is so good!!! My mom made some today
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
Looks Awesome. Thanks for the recipe. Try it with walnuts too. So Good!!!!
I will definitely try it with walnuts next time. :)
Got to try this❤️
Please do! 😊
I am surprised there are any thumbs down on this channel. What is there not to like? An excellent recipe that tastes fantastic, enjoyed this recipe, thanks for sharing.
Eh you can’t please everyone right? 🤷♀️
The kitchen yo!! 💙💙💙💙💙 Is it just the lighting or is there a new main camera? Everything looks leveled up! Keep up the awesome vids!
Oh... And I'm not a fan of cool whip either 👍
Should be their new house?!
Thank you so much! It’s in our new kitchen. I looovvveee all of the space. 😊
I love it 💕
Thank you! 😊
Wow this whipped cream is amazing I don't think I'll ever use Cool Whip again as soon as you mentioned sour cream I was hesitant and wasn't going to use it but I did and it is amazing thank you
Homemade whipped cream is soooo much better. ☺
Sour cream is the only way to go ,in fact, I use a little extra because it's just more wholesome and delicious, but it also kind of end up tasting a little bit like cheesecake , Absolutely love Sour cream..
Thanks SO much for posting this video! I made this for a 60's themed potluck and it was a HUGE hit!
That’s awesome!!! I’m glad everyone enjoyed it. 😊
(: It "fit" in really well ...!!!!! ... ☺
I’m watching the movie “The Help” so I had to come here and check it out!
I don't think I've ever heard of it. I'll have to check it out. :)
Making some for my birthday today.🍰🍧🍨
Love that! Happy birthday!
Looks like a great recipe. I have a question..can I also use fresh whip cream in the cream sickle salad?
This recipe is fabulous! I doubled the recipe and used plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. I also added a 1/4 cup grand marnier. It was good as soon as it was mixed, but it was mind blowing great after sitting overnight in the fridge. Yum 🤤
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! It's one of my favorites too 😊
Thank you looks so good and pretty.
Wouldn't chopped walnuts be good in this also?
You could definitely add walnuts here. :)
Love ambrosia salad topped with nuts
Ooo sounds like a great addition! :)
Perfectly explained, much clearer than the tutorial i saw on cooking website. Summer is not completely over i might try it before cold is back.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you love the salad. :)
I grew up in the sixties, and we made this every time we barbecued. I haven't made in years. I'll be sure to buy all the ingredients soon. I wish I had some in the fridge right now yum 😋
It looks so colorful, and I like the idea making your own whip cream, which am gonna try..thank you.!
I hope you love it! 😊😊
So I watched this video of Jessica Vill earlier were she taste-tests 50's food and she made ambrosia salad.. but humh.. I knew something was off, she made it very different and did't look traditional. I searched ambrosia salad and this video showed up so I observed that urs seems very traditional but u also made it better. So I bought the ingredients and I'm making it right now. The combination of the whipped cream with the sour cream is on POINT.. taking this to my friend's haha.. thank you for this!
ps: new subscriber :D
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe and hopefully your friends enjoy it too.😊
Funny, I'm also here after watching Jessica's video and wanting to make ambrosia salad right
Definitely a better choice to replace cool whip with real whipped cream and sour cream - I add powdered sugar- just a tad ! Yum!
I ate it until I could eat no more. I still make it and folks love it.
I love your ambrosia recipe without coconut and cherries so much better, i replace that with diced apples and stawberries
Sounds tasty! It's such an easy dessert to customize which makes it even better. :)
Oh my goodness!!! It was so good.... The homemade whipped cream and the sour cream gave it the deliciousness tangy flavor.... will definitely make it again 😁 and there is no NEED to add the pistachio pudding 😀
I'm so glad you liked it!
I love that fruit salad
It's so good! 😊
I never have tried or even heard of ambrosia salad, not sure how I feel on this one plus like you don't care for cool whip I don't care for factory marshmallows, I would have to make my own and add pecans or something to this for crunch, thank you for something different to shake me up.
I completely understand I could never eat it as a kid. I bet it would be good with some pecans! 😊
@@SugarSpunRun
(: Some recipes do have "Pecans" especially if they are Southern!!!!! ... ☺ But it is always an option as there are people who are allergic to nuts!!!!!
Looks yummy. I grew up in the 60s. My mom and grams would never have used cool whip on anything either. Heavy cream tastes divine. I tried cool whip in the 70s and couldn’t believe how off it tasted. 😂 We used sliced grapes instead of the mandarin oranges. My grams used to call in pink cloud ambrosia delight. Not sure where the pink came from. Maybe the cherries?
Hmm I guess if you look at it from a distance you can see a bit of pink? I'm glad you enjoy it! Food always brings back the best memories for me. :)
I'm not entirely sold yet on the idea of the Ambrosia salad, but I may try it sometime XD
Btw, is this the first video filmed in the new kitchen? It looks really nice and spacious :)
I was never a fan either until I tried it with real whipped cream. It is in my new kitchen. I love it. 😊
That's why I'm even considering trying it ;) We seem to have a very similar taste when it comes to sweet stuff and so far, pretty much every single of your recipes I've tried over the years has been amazing. So although I still think this is a really strange combination of ingredients, I'm also kind of intrigued by it XD
@@TheBigOne0305
(: It is really good!!!!! ... ☺
Thanks for the video, I really don’t like sour cream, could I leave that out?
You can leave it out but it will be really sweet. You shouldn’t taste the sour cream but you can tell when it’s not there. Enjoy!
(: Maybe you could try Yogurt!!!!! ... ☺
(: But if you added just a little "Sour Cream", I also agree with what she says that, 'I don't think you would notice it'!!!!! ... ☺
Can you use vegan marshmallows for this? Also great recipe!
Sure thing! 😊
1:24 You might like using a mixing bowl. They have vertical sides that curve in to form a flat bottom. No banging and jumping around. And it gives a better result since the beaters can reach everything.
Thanks for the tip!
...and mix everything before adding the whipped topping 👍
Wow. beautiful food.That`s a great food.
Quick question please, I made a lot of Ambrosia Salad, can it be frozen until Dec?
I would be worried the texture would degrade but I haven’t tried it. Let me know how it goes if you do try it. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun , I certainly will. Thank you for responding quickly!🌹💕
@@SugarSpunRun
(: I think so too, and I think it would lose some flavor!!!!! ... :(
Add chopped PECANS!!! I promise u!! It’s the Besssttt!!
Sounds good! 😊
Question, does it have to be a glass bowl? If so, why? Never made whip cream and I just got recommended this & clicked on it in a oh yeah, I remember those but not exactly what they were sort of way.
Any bowl will work here. :)
I use a dried can of fruit salad on top of what you added plus crushed walnuts or pecans.
Yummmm
It’s good with chopped pecans also.
Yummmm
Now I know what they’re talking about in Greek mythology when they describe the gods of Olympus partaking in ambrosia... the more you know 💁🏼♀️
cool! i saw this in that one netflix show and wanted to know what it was made of, kinda wanna try it ngl
I think you’ll love it! 😊
Looks delicious but how many calories is it per serving? two thumbs up, btw.
Thank you so much! This recipe will make about 10 servings and have about 320 calories per serving
If you have to ask how many calories in something made with cream, sugary marshmallows and canned fruit, this recipe isn't for you. :)
Love this but... don't like that kind of oranges and cherries. Can I add something other than those two ?please let me know..thanks
You can certainly substitute in your favorite fruits. :)
@@SugarSpunRun thanks 😊
Try adding crushed walnuts on top...makes it 10x better 🔥
Sounds good! :)
Nice salad I’d hit 5hat !
Can we use any fruit of our our choice???
Sure thing. :)
What can I use instead of sour cream? Lactose intolerant here lol. Something that'll make it sweeter?
Unfortunately I am not sure of a substitute that would be lactose free. :(
I saw yogurt made with coconut milk. I'm not sure since I'm not lactose intolerant, but it seems like since you're putting coconut in the salad, it would go nicely with the fruity flavors.
I'm making it tomorrow. My husband laughed when I said I was going to add sour cream. I will show him.
I think he'll change his mind after he tries it. :)
@@SugarSpunRun he loves it and even just had some more to snack on. Delicious.
Awesome!!
We use straight sour cream ❤️🇨🇦❤️
I did you mean put it in the freezer for an hour or the refrigerator?
Fridge! Whoops!
Is cool whip okay?
It will work you just lose that delicious homemade whipped cream taste. 😊
❤
I love this salad,so yummy but too many marshmallows n not enough fruit.. I use a can of tropical fruit I can of fruit cocktail. One of mardrain oranges.. one banana I cup of sliced up strawberry n one half can of pineapple tidbits n I half can of chopped up peaches.. 2 container of cool whip.. I small pk of vanilla pudding n one n half cup of fruity marshmallows mix well n chill for 45 min to one hour n serve n enjoy!!!
Yummmmm
Hold the presses! Did you actually use real whipped cream and not that chemical laden/tasting cool whip? My goodness, this woman is a god send! Going to see what other real foods this channel has! Refreshing!
I hate that fake stuff! Homemade is always better. :)
@@SugarSpunRun Amen sister!
Would adding walnut or pistachio pieces be TOO much, will it alter ther taste???
That sounds delicious! Definitely worth a try. 😊
Ambrosia salad with cool whip taste as good as yours I’m sure ! Yours looks delicious as well !
I add grapes to mine.
Yummmm!
hello. I like to make mine with "nestle sweet condensed milk mix with sour cream" and add the usual, mini marshmallows, pineapple, dice up some sweet apples (green/yellow/light red)
Sounds delicious! 😊
Sugar Spun Run hehe thanks! I will try your recipe as well 😋 thanks for sharing!!
One downer is that the dressing is pretty runny, but it does have a good flavor!
As long as it tastes good I’d be willing to eat it!
(: That sounds really good too!!!!! ... ☺
Do you have to use sour cream
It's going to be really sweet and will lack that nice depth of flavor.
Can i use just web-cream
The whipped cream you buy in a store will work but it doesn’t taste as good in my opinion. 😊
are walnuts good in the salad....seems like thats whats missing to me ?
Several people have told me they like to add them. 😊
I’m currently on the part when Joyce gets a spoonful of her salad and feeds Edward. Just came here and see what it was. I wonder if Edward liked it or hated it.
Edward Scissorhands anyone!? 😁
Elliott from The Umbrella Academy brought me here😅 I was curious to see what's inside Ambrosia.. Not for me, I really don't like sweety fruity things but super nice video, thanks 💚
I haven’t heard that one yet, but that’s cool! Thanks for watching. 😊
Lovely looking salad. The way its done - too fattening for my use.
Use instead, plain yougart, a bit of honey sprinkled,
Leave out the marshmallows.
Thanks for showing us how to make this salad.
Enjoy!
(: If you have it once in a while, it is not that bad to eat!!!!! ... ☺
Thats y im here...edward scissorshands
For some reason cool whip is the only whipped cream I can eat without gagging
Very interesting. I find it’s the reverse situation for most people. 😊
Looks yummy but I hate coconut so can you use something else or leave it out? That’s probably why I’ve never liked it
You could certainly leave it out. :)
I nix the coconut and add bananas, mandarin oranges and fruit cocktail.
Yummm! It’s so versatile and that’s part of what makes it so good. 😊
I love Ambrosia salad but the ones I've had have always had green grapes in it. 🥰😋
You could definitely add them here if you'd like. :)
@@SugarSpunRun thank you for your reply. Have a blessed weekend 🙏
Can't we put fresh fruits instead of canned?
I don't see any reason that wouldn't work. :)
Actually, fresh fruit doesn't work as well as canned. I've tried it. It's ok, but the canned fruit in this particular case, is better.
Why not use fresh fruit?
You can use fresh fruit. The canned fruits just add to the consistency as they are a bit softer. :)
