This is a definite keeper and I will be making it again as a summer dessert. When I was young my mom loved to make Ambrosia salad so I shared this with her and she was "over the moon for it. The one thing I will add in the future is a little (maybe a 1/4 cup?? I will have to play with it) sour cream with the cream cheese, just to give it a little more depth to the flavor and make it even more like the salad of my youth. Thanks for sharing Tatia!!
