This ambrosia wasn't quite sweet enough for my tastes. I added more marshmallows, and it really did the trick.

I made this for the 4th and it was perfect! I did leave out the coconut, my little one wouldn't have eaten it. Perfect combination of sweet/tart/sour. Thanks for the recipe!

Loved this recipe. Left out the coconut and increased the sugar, and added toasted pecans as others have recommended. "sauce" tasted a bit like sour cream out of the bowl, but after the dish mellowed it was perfect..and I think the sour cream made the cream stable (even the next day it wasn't watery).

We love this recipe, however the next time I make it will be for a potluck or company because it makes to much for just my husband.

Soooo good. I only made it because my boyfriend LOVES ambrosia - I'd never even had it! But it turned out so well I keep making it again and again for no reason at all! Instead of just the strawberries and blueberries, though, I add whatever I have around the house. No watermelon because there's just too much liquid there, but it's great with small cantelope balls, frozen blueberries, fresh chunked peaches or anything!

This was delicious! But I did add more powdered sugar, you can adjust to how sweet you want it. You can get really creative with this recipe and add whatever fruit you want. I've already made it twice, the first time, exactly how recipe is except more powdered sugar, the second time with just strawberries and bananas and of course the marshmallows.Definately A keeper!!

Very good! The fruit is what brings out the sweetness in this dessert. My strawberries were not quite ripe so this actually tasted better the second day once they ripened. I think chopped pecans will be a nice addition - will try that next time.

This isn't the type of dessert I typically eat, but it tasted alright to me and I got lots of compliments at the picnic I took it to for how great it was. I didn't have much left over. It is pretty costly to make compared to other items, though.

I made this for a family reunion and everyone liked it. I didn't add the coconut because my family doesn't like it but I think it would be good because it lacked the sweetness from the coconut. I will make again but will add more pineapple for a sweeter flavor.

YUMMY!!!!!!!!! I made this for 4th of July and it was sooooo good. We didn't have any leftovers. I made it again about two weeks later because I liked it so much and it's a great desert for hot summer nights. The second time I added in some chopped walnuts and it added a great crunch and texture.

This is very good but boy it makes a lot. Better have a crowd around for it. I served it at a July 4th barbeque for 17 people and we're still eating it.

Wow! This was so good I couldn't stop eating it! I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious! Maybe next time, I'll use light cream instead of heavy cream to lower the fat content. I wouldn't change anything else! Update: I tried it with light cream and it just didn't have the same thick texture needed for this recipe. That's ok - it's definitely worth the calories!
