How to Make Ambrosia Salad | Easy Fruit Salad Recipe

[@oscarsanchez6440]

As a kid growing up. This dessert was there for Thanksgiving, Christmas, baptisms,weddings,graduations and birthdays. My uncle called it the Relative Dessert. Because it was always there on special occasions. Btw. Great video.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome!! And thank you :)

[@jonathanrhodes6423]

Me too but no one cooks any more.

I made this for our theology 🧑‍🎓 since I don’t like sour cream, I used yogurt and added pieces of apple, every body loved it.The next time I made it more classical with the recipe for my own whipped cream, and sour cream DELICIOUS.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome!

Fantastic recipe. That looks perfectly delicious. One of my favorite fruit salads. Super yum!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

[@thelmabuenaventura1406]

I love fruit salad, we have a Filipino version of Ambrosia salad ( fruit salad) but it’s really different ingredients, we use some of the local fruits like kaong on the bottle, nata de coco on the bottle also, we make that for special occasions like Holidays.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome! :)

[@kingrichard1759]

I lived in Olongapo for three years and I loved it

[@kingrichard1759]

The city and the fruit salad (And the girls)

[@glennsepulveda4856]

My Ambrosia is very tropical..Young coconut meat, Sweet palm fruit, coconut jelly, lychees, pineapple, bananas, diced semi ripe papaya, sweet melon, rice crispies, taro cream, all purpose cream..served with a scoop of coconut ice cream as a topping!..so refreshingly good! 👍

[@NoToYellowpigs]

I replaced yogurt instead of sour cream, walnuts and fresh fruits (mangoes, grapes, papaya, pineapple, young coconut meat), mallows, cacao nibs, and then all purpose cream. in the Philippines. Yum!,😁

[@doloresbecker756]

I'm one of those that do not like maraschino cherries. Instead, I use a couple of heaping tablespoons of sour cherry preserves simmered and cooled until thickened, then add a bit of port or sherry. Absolutely divine!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome!

[@arlettehernandez3145]

For Thanksgiving Dinner

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yes!

[@annawalker5115]

Yes!

[@apt221bbakerst]

I do mine differently. I use a couple of cans of fruit cocktail because it has all the fruit in it except Mandarin Oranges which makes it cheaper to buy if you are on a budget and easier. I then add a can of Mandarin, marshmallows, whip cream and some times coconut. It is an easy dessert and especially during the hot summer.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yes lots of recipes for it.

[@milktea.8822]

My dad does that too but he doesn’t use any sour cream in the ambrosia salad

[@annawalker5115]

Thank you. I'll go that route!

[@kouklakee]

[@eleniv7512]

Delicious recipe. Will try.. One suggestion is to strain the yogurt or sour cream first. I use coffee filters over a colander on top of a bowl or a yogurt strainer is fine to catch any liquid.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thanks! Are you in the States? The sour cream an yogurt here are really thick, so no need to strain it.

[@eleniv7512]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt yep, I am in the US. When I was in Greece, the yogurt was very thick. Miss it. Like your recipe. Have a nice day.

[@josephohanlon205]

Yes! In answer to Thelma, we have the Filipino version, but nowadays, the sour cream/ cool whips beats the condensed milk. We like this lighter version, for sure!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Definitely give this version a try! :)

[@enderplayz524]

I always dipped my strawberries in sours cream then brown sugar

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome! I did that growing up as well. So good!

[@2462fu]

Would pecans. Or walnuts be good n the ambrosia salad??

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Sure!

[@sretnazvijezda400]

Awesome 👌

[@2462fu]

Yes Absolutely!, Either one is good!! I've had both, make sure their in peices

[@gingerpinon5590]

A lady I used work with. Added. Green pistachio jello to hers. Have u ever heard of that? How would u do it. It was 😍

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

I haven't, but if you like it, add it! :) No wrong way to make this in my opinion, haha. :)

[@wandagreer9144]

Do not make the green jello as normal. We just add the green powder straight from the package to the whip cream mix. Do it a little at a time and taste. It can get too green and too strong very quickly. And we top ours with crushed pecans and more coconut.

[@shawnabrown8360]

Thats what I do. No sour cream. I mix a box of pistachio pudding in with the crushed pineapples then fold everything in.

[@ashleywade142]

That's Watergate salad...not exactly the same

[@WarEagle68]

Yes, you are confusing Watergate salad for ambrosia salad.

[@rosemaryrodriguez2413]

Look so yummyy😋

Thank you!

[@soniachang857]

Can u used fruit contains in the can instead of individual fruits

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yes you can use pretty much any fruit that you want.

You are welcome! Yes lots of other things you can add.

[@bree9870]

Any ideas for replacement for coconut?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Just leave it out. :)

[@crisdalere2833]

Maybe you can add chopped almonds or macadamia nuts. I do that sometimes to replace coconut since I’m not a fan of coconut.

[@melissawickliff418]

I always add cinnamon too the salad

[@001Catey]

I'm going to try this variation. We always called it christmas salad or 5 cup salad because it used 1 cup of each ingredient. The funny thing is, I never new it was called "ambrosia." 😊

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome!

Cool!

We’ve always used drained fruit cocktail, mandarin’s, coconut, marshmallows, pecans and whipped cream.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Nice! Lots of ways to make it.

[@christinemartin2236]

Where do I get fruit marshmallows?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Same place you buy normal marshmallows if they have them. Places like Walmart, Target, Kroger, Albertsons, etc.

[@dianewhite4065]

[@jrjt21]

In the video you say one cup of whipped topping, but the printed version you wrote 2 cups. I am assuming it is 1 cup?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Actually no I didn't say 1 cup of whipped topping. I said "one full tub or one container" if you rewatch at 2:02 you will hear it. Which is about 2 cups if using measuring cups. I also said near the beginning the amounts don't matter, so if all you have is 1 cup, like half of a container left, or if you make homemade whipped cream and all you have is 1 cup then that is fine.

[@goingoneight]

Wouldn’t it make sense to mix the whipped cream and sour cream together to whip it up good? Seems like you could incidentally have some areas of the recipe that were too sweet or maybe even just straight sour cream taste.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Umm yes, that is what I did in the video, haha. Re-watch it at 2:36 I am mixing the sour cream and whipped cream together.

You can use plain yogurt instead of sour cream or yes you can try marshmallow cream as well. For sure you can use lots of different fruits instead of cherries. Strawberries will work very well. :)

[@mjguz1722]

You seem so sweet. Thank you for the recipe

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thank you! And you are welcome!

[@johnnyhartdawg6220]

Some use cool whip, some use homemade whip cream, some use only sour cream and others mix sour cream with the whip cream. I hate sour cream and plain yogurt and mayonnaise, and I like it sweet so I prefer just straight up whip cream, I never thought about vanilla yogurt, I also don't like pineapple but I like to add bananas

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yes so many options for making it exactly how you want it.
