My grandmother has been making ambrosia for christmas for years, the only difference is she add sherry or port as well. Gives it that little bit of a kick.

I also have been using this salad for the last 30 odd years minus the chocolate. my family and friends love it with their bbq steak. will have to start making it again. thanks for the memories.

I have been making this as a dessert for 10 years it is a hit with my whole family and friends. I have always used a can of fruit salad drained along with the sour cream and marshmallows quick and easy for anyone to make.

I have been making this for over 30 years and always serve as a salad with a bbq. I use banana instead of chocolate. It is delicious and people always ask for recipe

We have been making this for years at christmas time as an accompaniment for our cold christmas meats - minsu the chocolate. It's traditionally called ambrosia salad in america

I've been using this recipe for 25 years, my now husband didn't believe that it would be somthing anyone else would use. Thanks for proving me right with an age old goldie .. Unfortunately we can't use chocolate, but it's still great without ...

We often use this as a salad and we use a cup of each of the ingredients and mix together.( without the chocolate)

I made this for desert tonight and it took me back to the 70's. It is an old fashioned Aussie sweet that I hope makes a come back. Delicious!!! Thank you. Samantha

In stead of sour cream ca you put Whiped cream or something diferrtent?? But it was still a good desert and foodI'm impresset. It is worth $2.50
