Ambrosia Dessert
1 (16-ounce) can pineapple chunks
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple
1 (4-serving-size) package instant pistachio pudding mix
1 cup each: shredded coconut or chopped walnuts or pecans
1 (12- to 16-ounce ) container nondairy whipped topping, thawed
1 cup miniature marshmallows
Drain pineapple chunks and crushed pineapple. Reserve liquid for
another use.
Sprinkle pudding mix on top. Let mixture set for three minutes.
Combine coconut and nuts; fold into pineapple mixture. Slowly blend
in whipped topping and marshmallows.
Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
To really perk up this dish, add a small jar of drained maraschino
cherries. Also, you can make individual servings in pretty sherbet
or wine glasses and sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon sugar for a
beautiful presentation. |
