This recipe reminds me of a salad my grandma made while I was growing up! I left out the cinnamon and nutmeg and added about 12 ozs. of Cool Whip and 1 3/4 cup coconut! My guests loved this easy and simple recipe!

Nutmeg was too much. Will make again without the Nutmeg.

This was wonderful. I noticed a lot of the reviews thought the nutmeg and cinnamon was a little much but it just depends on your taste. If you are making it for the first time, I would suggest 1/2 tsp. of each and see how you like it. I used the full amount and no one had a problem with it. Experiment.

Turned out pretty good. I doubled the whipped cream and didn't bother with the nutmeg or cinnamon. It was a bit on the dry side, but I didn't care, and no one else seemed to either.

THE RECIPE WAS GOOD BUT THE NUTMEG WAS ALITTLE OVER POWERING. I WOULD MAKE IT WITHOUT THE NUTMEG FIRST AND ADD MAYBE A DASH IF NEEDED. STACY WHEATLEY

This is yummy. I have even modified it for less calories and fat. I love coconut but the recipe calls for too much.

We had a family reunion where we had to bring potluck and I wanted to bring something geared more towards the kids since most things are for adults (potato salad, etc.); but even the adults said they liked this one. I modified it slightly, using only 1 1/4 cup coconut, more whipped cream and I placed the cherries on top for garnish.

Too many flavors in this makes it less satsifying for a sweet tooth fix and hard to use to feed a group of people.

This was definitely a hit at Thanksgiving this year! I doubled the recipe to feed 12, but that wasn't necessary -- it makes a lot of ambrosia. I did cut the spices in half, as others suggested, and cut down on the coconut, too. The spices were just right -- any more and it would have been overpowering. I thought the amout of cool whip was just fine as called for.

This was great! I've never made ambrosia before, but a family friend was having a luau and requested that everyone bring a 'tropical' type dish. With pineapple and coconut this fit the bill, and it was a huge hit! I used tropical fruit salad to add to the Hawaiian theme, and it was a hit. My father was devastated that my mom and I came home without leftovers. Thank you, Kimberley, this will be going into my regular rotation!!!
