I was looking for an ambrosia recipe without the sour cream and this was so YUMMY! I only used 8 oz of cool whip as I bought the wrong size and it was perfect. I also used extra oranges and pineapples instead of fruit salad... GREAT recipe!

Just divine, the marshmallows eventually get soft and just melt in to the dessert! YUMMY!

I haven't tried this yet, but I'm a good enough cook to know this will be wonderful! I've been looking for an Ambrosia recipe that doesn't have sour cream as I have a family member who doesn't like sour cream and sour cream doesn't like her. :-) Happy Easter! Jesus is Risen!
