This is EXACTLY how I was taught to make it, 20 years ago (minus the mandarin slices, and walnuts instead of almonds). Time to make a batch again.

Delicious ambrosia! I left out the almonds and added maraschino cherries. I also only used an 8 oz tub of cool whip, I think 16 oz would have been too much. Will definitely use this recipe again!

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!
