A very picky kid loved this recipe. I couldn't believe how simple it was to make, and you can change things up with ingredients in your fridge (fruit, nuts). I didn't think it would keep well with the fruit and cool-whip, but I was wrong. A couple days later it tasted just as good as the first night.

Delicious! This is as simple as it gets... very inexpensive too! I often do fresh fruit for parties but it's a nice way to bring a fruit dish somewhere without spending much. I stirred in the Cool Whip and added Maraschino cherries (which I think I'll leave out next time actually). Simple but great!

I added some Marciano Cocktail Cherries (cut in half) for a wonderful added flavor and COLOR!

Quick and easy! It tasted better to me on the second day??!! Would be good to make for a potluck. I doubled the batch (because I didn't think it would be enough for our family of five), and was sorry I had done that, because it was way too much, but, most of it eventually got eaten, because we decided to forgo another side dish for extra helpings of this?!

I have always wanted to make ambrosia, but never found a a quick and easy recipe until now. I used the lowfat coolwhip instead and it still was so sweet and delicious. Thanks
