Cool Whip Ambrosia Salad 🍊🍒🍍
Ingredients:
1 (8-ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed
1 cup sour cream
1 (20-ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
1 (11-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup maraschino cherries, drained and halved
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 cup fruit-flavored jelly candies (like gumdrops), chopped
Instructions:
Mix the Base:
In a large bowl, gently fold together the Cool Whip and sour cream until well combined.
Add the Fruits and Sweets:
Add the pineapple tidbits, mandarin oranges, shredded coconut, miniature marshmallows, maraschino cherries, chopped nuts (if using), and chopped jelly candies to the Cool Whip mixture.
Gently fold everything together until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Chill the Salad:
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
Serve:
Once chilled, give the salad a gentle stir before serving. Spoon the ambrosia salad into individual bowls or a large serving dish.
