Weekly What’s Cooking with Melissa

With Memorial Day coming up I’ve been looking at my dessert recipes. I’ve come across one that I’m making, and you just might want to try it too! Red, White and Blue Ambrosia is refreshing and very easy to prepare.

 

Red, White and Blue Ambrosia

1 pt. heavy cream, I use the light version

1 1/2 tbsp. powdered sugar

2 cups light sour cream

1 1/2 cups. shredded coconut

1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple, well drained

1 pint strawberries, washed and sliced

1 pint blueberries, washed and dried well

3 cups miniature marshmallows

Optional for garnish:

1/4 cup each of pecans (finely chopped), maraschino cherries (halved), blueberries

 

With an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until thick. Mix in sour cream. Fold in coconut, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries and marshmallows. Sprinkle pecans, maraschino cherries and/or blueberries on top to garnish. Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least chill 4-6 hours for best flavor).
