Absolutely scrumptious! As other reviewers noted, the recipe makes a lot of juice. I reduced lime juice to 1/4c; used 2c coconut, 2c marshmallows, 2 cans oranges. Added a whole pint of strawberries and 1/3c pecans.

I did not care for this. The texture of the sauce was very syrupy and heavy, kind of a coat-your-mouth thing. I would take cool whip or whipped cream with fruit over this any day. Sorry. :(

This was a very tasty side dish. My family loved it because they said it was light. The lime really makes all the flavors stand out. Like eating a key lime fruit salad. For potlucks, this is what I bring.

The ambrosia that i make does not call for the condensed milk as that would make it too sweet, i think ambrosia should always be a nice light dessert, i always put in almost a whole bag of marshmellows that way its not too soupy and i let it set a few hours before i serve it, it always turns out perfect every time.

I wanted to comment on the amount of liquid. I made the "sauce" the day before using the juice from 1/2 a fresh lime. It did thicken up some. I mixed the fruit, etc, in a seperate bowl on the morning of the party, and only used about 3/4 of the sauce. Other reviewers were right...all of it would have been too much. Next time, I will wait longer to add the oranges, because they fell apart. All & all, this was delicious, and I will definitely make it again! HEADS UP...this served only SEVEN people at MY house!!!

I loved it. My husband didn't care for the cherries. I will leave those out next time. The marshmallows stay firm which keeps the leftover salad from getting soupy. Nice!

I made quite a few little changes to this recipe. I omitted the sweetened condensed milk, replacing it with 2 tablespoons of honey. I reduced the lime juice to 1 tablespoon and added lime zest. That made plenty of dressing for 2 cans of pineapple, one large can of mandarin oranges, and the remaining ingredients. Very good and not too sweet.
