What You'll Need
- 1 3 oz. box instant pistachio pudding mix
- 1 8 oz. container of cool whip*
- 1 15 oz. can fruit cocktail**
- 1 5 oz. can mandarin oranges**
- 1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple**
- ¼ cup coconut flakes or shavings, optional
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts, optional
- It’c common is many Ambrosia Salad recipes to add lots of other ingredients like mini marshmallows and other types of fruits. Add them in to this recipe, they will work! I do not add them into mine, as it was not our family tradition!
What You'll Do
- This recipe takes approximately 90 seconds to make and is pure joy. Let’s go.
- Mix the cool whip and dry pudding mix together in a bowl.
- Strain the juices from your canned fruits. Give the juice to Bimpy to drink then add the fruit into the bowl with the cool whip. Add coconut and nuts as well. Mix to combine until everything is evenly distributed.
- Place in your serving bowl and chill in the fridge before serving. This is a dish best served cold 🙂
Enjoy!
*You can use whipped cream instead of cool whip if you like.
**You can use any combo of these canned fruits, just always use 30 ounces total combined.
