Throw it together and watch it disappear. Presto! Magic! (Just make sure you got yours first.)

I made this for a church picnic last night and it disappeared in no time. I'm glad I taste-tested it before I left home because there was none left when it was my turn in line! It tasted great and I will definitley be making this recipe many times again!

We used fruit cocktail instead of the pineapple, and instead of milk, we used mayonnaise (NOT Miracle Whip) to cut the sweetness. I use aabout 1/3 c., but you can add it to taste. A classic recipe!

Very easy to make, fairly inexpensive. Everyone loved it at my gathering - much better than the boring fruit salad we usually have. I think I'll ad some more fruit next time, because they tended to hide in the fluff. Maybe some strawberries?

This was my first shot at making a fruit salad and it was so easy and quick not to expensive as well. The taste was awesome. Although I think adding more mandarine oranges would really set it off next time. My family loved it. Thanks !

Classic ambrosia! A great, old-fashioned flavor. The kids didn't go for it, but then, if it doesn't contain five pounds of chocolate chips, they don't love anything. Rave reviews from grown-ups though.

This was wonderful!! I did as others had mentioned and added the pineapple juice and used sourcream instead of milk. It was great! I served it yesterday at our Easter Brunch and everyone loved it. I made it the night before and forgot to add the cherries the next day (didn't want everything to be pink in the morning) but they weren't missed. Thanks for the recipe!

Very disappointed with this. I love ambrosia salad and was looking for a recipe. With all the rave reviews I thought I had found a good one. But this turned out sickly sweet and not at all what I was looking for. Needed much more fruit and the combination of the marshmallows with so much whipped topping put it over the edge for sweetness. Next time I'll try the one that uses sour cream. I think that's closer to the dish I remember.

I can't say enough about how delicious this recipe is. Beats my grandmother's ambrosia... and that is really saying somthing! I have also used homemade whipped topping in this recipe and it turns out just as well as using the whipped topping. Deee-licious!

This was a big hit! Quick and easy, with great taste! It is definitely better to add the pineapple juice to this mixture, it makes it SO much more creamy.

I brought this as my contribution to Christmas Eve dinner. No one really said anything about it - good or bad. It was hardly touched though. I think they thought what we did... kinda 'blah'.

I tried this ambrosia.. I didn't care for it.... it tasted like just a pineapple coconut mix... maybe some apples or other fruits would have livened it up a bit. But it had a good consistency.
