[@larkatmic]

Looks yummy. I grew up in the 60s. My mom and grams would never have used cool whip on anything either. Heavy cream tastes divine. I tried cool whip in the 70s and couldn’t believe how off it tasted. 😂 We used sliced grapes instead of the mandarin oranges. My grams used to call in pink cloud ambrosia delight. Not sure where the pink came from. Maybe the cherries?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Hmm I guess if you look at it from a distance you can see a bit of pink? I'm glad you enjoy it! Food always brings back the best memories for me. :)

So I watched this video of Jessica Vill earlier were she taste-tests 50's food and she made ambrosia salad.. but humh.. I knew something was off, she made it very different and did't look traditional. I searched ambrosia salad and this video showed up so I observed that urs seems very traditional but u also made it better. So I bought the ingredients and I'm making it right now. The combination of the whipped cream with the sour cream is on POINT.. taking this to my friend's haha.. thank you for this! ps: new subscriber :D

Love ambrosia salad or 24 hour salad as it is also sometimes called as it does taste better after 24 hours in the fridge.

We always have it for Easter and Christmas whenever we have ham.

[@humanfamilymember]

Tip: Stabilize your whipping cream Non stabilised whipped cream will start deflating after 1 hour but will keep for 2 to 3 days in the fridge (though it will weep). Stabilised cream can be kept in an airtight container or piping bag for 48 hours, and it will be fluffy like freshly made! A stabilized whipped cream keeps its shape and is excellent for topping pies, cheesecakes, and more. Just a ½ teaspoon of cream of tarter per cup of heavy cream is all you need. OR For every cup of heavy cream you whip, beat in 1 to 2 tablespoons of sour cream or creme fraiche. It won't make it tangy (or not in any truly notable way) but it does keep the whipped cream stable. Tip: When whipping cream, add sugar and vanilla when the cream is about 1/2 whipped, and it will whip to a thicker consistency. Adding the sugar at the beginning results in thinner consistency. The cream and the bowl should be as cold as possible. The cream will whip easier and to a thicker consistency when very cold.

You have to let it sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours, to give the marshmallows time to soak up all the flavors. An hour isn't long enough. Overnight is even better. We've never used Cool Whip in Ambrosia. That would be gross. Hate Cool Whip anyway.

Why not use fresh fruit?

[@SugarSpunRun]

You can use fresh fruit. The canned fruits just add to the consistency as they are a bit softer. :)

[@guccitarot2305]

The canned fruit yucky yuck.....why take the time to make your homemade whipped cream just to use old soaked in corn syrup canned stale fruit,? Just grab some fresh fruit and cut it up or use your blender on the chop setting. Otherwise good video!

[@SugarSpunRun]

If you research the history of Ambrosia Salad, you'll understand why the fruit is canned and not fresh. My recipe is very close to the classic recipe, but I do substitute fresh whipped cream because it's super easy to make and tastes better than cool whip. You could always use fresh fruit if that's what you like, but the canned fruit is what makes this classic ambrosia salad. Don't knock it til you try it! 😊
