Lately, nothing I cook satisfies my taste buds. But since I have to eat something and I’m not wealthy enough to eat out every night, I have to find something to eat.

I’ve switched to desserts. Well, one in particular – Ambrosia.

Ambrosia is a simple dessert that I can make almost with my eyes closed. What I love about it is the rich combination of sweet (I have a wicked sweet tooth), crunchy (chopped almonds), tart (orange segments and pineapple).

Basically, Ambrosia excites my taste buds and keeps them guessing.

See if you agree.

Ingredients

1 8 oz. can of mixed fruits, drained
1 8 oz. can pineapple chunks, drained
8 oz. Whipped Cream
¾ cup of almonds (or walnuts), chopped
Small jar Maraschino cherries, drained (Save a few to garnish)
Marshmallows and additional fruits, e.g. orange segments, seedless grapes cut in half, etc., can be used for color, texture and variety
Cherry syrup to sweeten the whipped cream and add color

Directions

Chop nuts, set aside
Spoon whipped cream into a bowl, sweeten to taste with cherry syrup
Add fruits and half of the chopped almonds, mix thoroughly
Cover with Saran Wrap and refrigerate at least an hour
Garnish with remaining chopped almonds and cherries, serve

Enjoy!
