When I was younger, my mom would make an ambrosia that was so good, it was addicting. If allowed, I would have eaten it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!! The only problem is, my mom would only make it on holidays.
Now that I’m an adult and stole her recipe {bwwwahhhaaaa}, I can make it any time I want! Trust me, this ambrosia is so, so good. The key is to make it ahead of time and let it sit in the fridge overnight. It does not taste the same without this key step—-trust me.

Wow, this looks so delicious! I can’t wait to try it, thanks for posting
It’s funny that I see this post (well, I actually saw it yesterday but decided to comment today) because when I went shopping yesterday I seen something that looked delicious; when I looked at the sticker, it said it was ambrosia. I’ve heard of it but didn’t know what it was. I ended up buying it and found out I’ve had before. I would love to try your recipe so I can have a big batch without spending too much on a small container! Thanks for the recipe!
