Classic Ambrosia

                      When it comes to ambrosia, I like to keep it simple and the way I grew up
                      eating it. Over the years I have made many versions from scratch and I
                      have to say my favorite and go to Ambrosia is the classic from the 50's.

                                It's retro food at it's finest. Quick, easy and great for a party.
