THANKS KIM! AFTER CHECKING ALL OVER THE INTERNET, & MY 20 COOKBOOKS, THIS IS THE CLOSEST TO THE AMBROSIA'S I HAVE KNOWN AS A CHILD. HOWEVER, I LEFT OUT THE SPICE AND DOUBLED THE COOL WHIP (FOR OLD TIMES SAKE). SCRUMPDILLYICIOUS!!!!!!!

Nice and light-just be sure to make sure the fruit is drained well or this will be a little soggy the next day.

This Ambrosia was one of the first to go at a recent salad/dessert bar I hosted. For personal preference I omitted half the coconut, half the marshmallows, half the cool whip, the can of fruit cocktail, 3/4 the nutmeg and 1/2 the cinnamon. Instead I used half sour cream and half coolwhip in the dressing, and chopped fresh oranges in place of fruit cocktail. As you can see, I changed it quite a bit. But it was a definite hit, and I will make my version again. Thanks Kimberly.

Per other reviews, I used 1/2 the stated amounts of cinnamon, nutmeg, and coconut, and I'm really glad I did. The spices make this different than other similar desserts -- not spectactular, but something new. This is a pretty neat mix of flavors, and a good way to use up bits and pieces of leftover canned fruit!

I like coconut but this recipe calls for to much. I did cut back the seasonings and add extra cool whip as others have suggested.

Thanks Kimberly. I had never made Ambrosia before but wanted to try it for Thanksgiving. It was a hit! I did, however, but back on the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg called for. Delicious.

Absolutely yummy and we let the children pour in each ingredient by themselves. This will be a traditional recipe for my family for years to come. Thank you for sharing.

I made this salad for Thanksgiving dinner and I have to agree with other reviewers that it would be best if you cut back the amount of spices used. Also a bit more cool-whip would help it. It is good though and I would try it again!

I tried this recipe "as is" and then made it again with half the coconut and half the spices. Much better in my opinion with just half of these ingredients.

YUM!! I took the mandarin oranges and cherries out, but that's a personal preference. Other than that, I LOVE this recipe.

Use a 16oz container of cool whip and cut out the spices or half them. The spices overpowered the fruit.

Great Recipe, especially for a non-cook like myself! Everyone Loved it!!! Was asked to make this again for the 4th of July! My only note to this recipe is to double the amount of cool whip or cut the coconut in half. Many Thanks to Kimberley for sharing this recipe!

This was a very simple and tasty receipe. I used multi-colored miniture marshmallows which made it very festive! I left out the walnuts since some of my guest are allergic and it was still delicious! They especially loved the maraschino cherries so don't skimp!
