Andrea’s Version of a Berry Yummy Ambrosia Salad
I don’t know about you ladies, but I’m celebrating the fact that summer is almost over and my favorite season is here… fall 🍂. After all, I’m all about that Pumpkin Spice. But before we turn the page on summer, I’m excited to share our quick and simple Ambrosia Salad with berries recipe. 🍓🌸
If you’re familiar with the original Ambrosia Salad recipe from Food Network then you know it contains heavy cream, sour cream and mini marshmallows. Think of this as a lighter version of that.
Jump to RecipeI got it from my momma…
I wish I could take the credit for this recipe, but it comes from my momma. Whenever she was invited to a last-minute get-together, she’d whip this up and save the day!
This easy dessert features a creamy base of Cool Whip, condensed milk, and cream cheese, layered with your favorite mixed berries. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and refreshing, and it’s so simple to make!
So, a big thanks to Momma A for this recipe. Let us know if you give it a try—it was a hit at our launch dinner!
