When a dish has "ambrosia" in the name it has a lot to live up to. Not to worry, this refreshing Hawaiian fruit salad is up to the task.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I make this recipe many times during the summer. I use the mandarin oranges in juice though not the syrup kind. Everyone always really enjoys this.

I used this same recipe for years and recently misplaced my card. I'm so happy to have found it again! Whenever I hold my luau every summer we make this dessert and there is NEVER any left at the end of the party!

Coconut Ambrosia is a wonderful addition to the meal no matter what the holiday is. It's a nice cold taste after hot mashed potatoes and gravey.
