Holiday Ambrosia Fruit Fluff

"Whipped cream may be used in place of Cool Whip if desired but the Cool Whip tends to hold up better for this salad, and you may adjust the amount to taste --- not only is this delicious this colourful dessert makes a wonderful presentation to serve at your holiday table, it may be be made well in advance! :)"

  1. Made a great addition to our Easter dinner this year! In WI - anytime is a good time for cranberries :) The cranberries provided a nice tart burst to this sweet dish. Makes an extra large bowl full.
