AMBROSIA EXTREME MAKEOVER

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the creme fraiche, orange and lemon juices, sugar and mint.
• Peel and slice the bananas, put in a large bowl, along with the cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries and grapes. Add the crème fraiche mixture and toss gently to coat the fruit with the dressing.
• Put the salad into a serving dish or bowl and garnish with the kiwi slices.
• Chef's notes:
• I've also served this salad with a scoop of frozen yogurt instead of mixing in crème fraiche.

FRUIT AMBROSIA

Steps:

• Drain the liquid from all the cans of fruit. Thin the sour cream with whichever fruit juice you would like. Mix all the ingredients together with the thin sour cream.

AWESOME AMBROSIA FOR A CROWD

Steps:

• Strain your pineapple and orange segments to get rid of extra juice. (I sometimes press on top of friut lightly to help this). You want your fruit as drained as possible, runny ambrosia is yucky :) add the cherries.
• Then sprinkle about 2/3 of the vanilla pudding over your fuit, this adds flavor and also will help firm up the ambrosia.
• Next fold in the cool whip and the sour cream. Add the coconut, you can use more or less depending on how much you like coconut.
• Mix all together.
• Now I refrigerate overnight and then about 4 or 5 hours before you are ready to serve (in the morning is good)I add the marshmallows. This keeps them from getting too mushy. You can of course add them at the same time as the coconut. It's just a matter of preference.
