Delicious! It seemed like it had a little too much whipped topping, so next time I'll try reducing it to 3 cups instead of 3 1/2 cups.

I made this recipe and brought it to a party. It made a big hit. There was a small amount left in the bowl and I told the host that I would bring the bowl home and she said no way, not until I get the rest of the Ambrosia. I really wanted it for myself, because I had only tried it after I made it. The moral of the story is THAT THEY ALL loved it. So now this will be my favorite recipe to bring to parties. Thanks for an easy and wonderful recipe

My Mother used to make this very salad every Christmas and Thanksgiving. She whipped cream from scratch, but I like going the easy way. There was really very little difference in taste so why go through all the hassle? Besides I once made this for a family gathering years ago (with real whip cream) and forgot to add the sugar to the whip cream. Yuk. That was just one of MY kitchen disasters.

So Yummy! I used fresh pineapple, mandarin oranges, and seedless green grapes. It was much more like a dessert (and less like a fruit salad) with all of the cool whip and marshmallows, but really tasty and a huge hit with my guests.

this was a fast and easy recipe to prepare. It had a nice smooth taste to it without an aftertaste. I make it now for every occasion.

The recipe has way to much coconut. Next time I would add only half that it calls for. Otherwise it's a very good Hawaiian Salad, my grandmother couldn't get enough.

I took this dish to Easter dinner and it was the talk of the evening. It is extremely easy to make and very tasty. It was a nice alternative to a heavy dessert. Thanks Didi!....I followed the recipe exactly and I didn't make any changes as suggested by other reviewers. It tasted fine to me.

Yum. I skipped the marshmallows and cherries, but will try them next time--I bet they'd be good. This is not for the coconut-wary, though. I also used "lite" whipped topping, more pineapple (a whole 15.5 oz can), and sour cream instead of milk. I'm sure I'll have this again before the summer's over. It's keeping nicely in the fridge, too.

It was a little sweeter than I thought it would be (but that's okay--I like sweet). Next time, I would add more fruit and use less Cool Whip. I added shelled, sliced almonds this time around, and it really helped give it some crunch.

Great recipe! I love the taste! The only thing I did different was use a little less milk and add some chopped walnuts. YUM!

Traditional fruit fluff. Was looking for this recipe, had this at different functions but didn't know what it was. I am VERY happy I have found it. At first I omitted the coconut, not a huge fan if coconut. Tasted great! I toned down the sweetness by doing half the whipped cream and half sour cream, and dumped in whatever fruit I was in the mood for! I would be carefull of adding juicy fruit. It might make it pretty watery. Drain your fruit good! one more time YUMMY!

Excellent! Made for a baby shjower and everyone loved it. I also added sour cream to replace part of the whipped cream.

I made this according to the recipe the first time. Wow! I really prefer more fruit and a whole lot less topping and coconut. The second time I chopped up four navel oranges, used half whipped and half sour cream, and added celery and walnuts. Pretty darn good, and not nearly as sweet. My guests loved it with the modifications. Thanks Didi

Great recipe, but I added fresh clementine oranges which really added to the overall taste and appearance of the finished product. If you don't have fresh clementines I would suggest doubling the amount of mandarine oranges.

Great dessert! Everyone who tried it really liked it; some were apprehensive as to what it was ;) I used a 1/2 cup of sour cream (rather than milk) as someone suggested. It makes a lot too! So consider how much you need and adjust accordingly.

This was a simple and tasty recipe for ambrosia. Very good. Just be sure to use the finely shredded coconut. I didn't, but will next time to achieve a smoother texture.

This was good, however you need to REALLY like sweet things to enjoy this. It's really sweet and we found it a little too sweet for our tastes.
