Rave Review!
Yummy! I made this Red, White, and Blue Ambrosia for the 4th of July and it was so good--we didn't have any leftovers! I made it again about two weeks later because I liked it so much and it's a great dessert for hot summer nights.

Food Lovers' Trivia Tidbit
Frosting is a sugar-based mixture used to fill and coat cakes, pastries, cookies, etc. In addition to sugar, frosting can contain a combination of other ingredients including butter, milk, water, eggs, and various flavorings. It can be cooked, as with boiled icing, or uncooked, as with buttercream.
