Summer Ambrosia Fruit Dessert Recipes

EXTREME AMBROSIA FRUIT DESSERT

This is so delicious, and makes a ton of ambrosia, but recipe may be cut in half if desired to serve about 4-6 people, I like to use coloured mini marshmallows --- plan ahead this needs to chill for minimum 2 hours, prep time includes chilling time.
