Introduction

Low Fat Ambrosia Low Fat Ambrosia
Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    * 4 medium or 3 large sweet apples (Gala, Fuji, Red Delicious, Pink Lady, etc.)
    * 20 oz can of pineapple tidbits in 100% pineapple juice (drain off the juice)
    * 24 oz can (drained) of mandarin orange segments
    * One 7 ounce package of shredded coconut (usually found in the backing aisle of the grocery store)
    * 1/4 to 1/2 cup of either sour cream (I use fat free) or plain or vanilla yoghurt - OR - a combination of the two, as your prefer!

Directions

Step 1 - Peel 4 medium apples

Peel 4 medium or 3 large sweet apples (Gala, Fuji, Red Delicious, Pink Lady, etc.). Core and then slice and dice them into small pieces (say 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch by 1/8th inch).




Step 2 - Combine the other fruit with the apples

To the apples, add the drained mandarin orange segments (you may have canned you own as I did, when they were in season), the can of pineapple tidbits (or small chunks, also drained of liquids first) and the package of shredded coconut.


Step 3 - Add the sour cream and/or yoghurt

Add the sour cream and/or yoghurt 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring after each, until there is just enough to coat the fruit. It really doesn't take much, just add to suit your tastes.






Step 4 - Eat!

Actually, Ambrosia's flavor improves after sitting in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight! Now, you and your family or guests can enjoy a sweet, tasty dessert that is actually GOOD for you... and your waistline!

    Very Good
    I also add a few white miniature marshmallows and cut up marachino cherries to add a bit more color. This is a staple for potlucks. - 7/21/07
