I first tasted this at a local market, I finally asked for the recipe. I make it for all our family get togethers, and they love it. I do not use fruit cocktail cans because the pears & grapes turn brown and make the salad sour and bad!

SERVES 10 -12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks
1/2 (16 ounce) package of sweet coconut flakes
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed

Directions

1
First pour out all the juice from the mandarin and pineapple chunks.
2
Put fruit in large glass bowl.
3
Stir in sour cream and coconut flakes, and fold in the Cool Whip.
4
Chill for one hour and serve.

I made this for a tropical theme party my sister was having. It fit the bill, it was easy and sweet. I really loved it and plan on making it again for any party/potluck situation.

This was awesome! We had a hawaiian themed progressive dinner yesterday, I was the salad stop. I chose this recipe as one of the salads and I am sure glad I did!! I had 75 people here through the course of the day, everyone loved the ambrosia!! It kept well for several hours on the counter, I set the bowl in a 2nd bowl of ice. One of our guests was a fireman, he asked for the recipe and said he will be making it at the station!! I will make this again, thank you for sharing your recipe!

This is really wonderful. It like almost like a pina colada... Yummy... I served in a graham cracker crust. One of the easiest and honestly best deserts I've had in a while.
