Ambrosia Salad is something we always had on our turkey dinner table which as a kid I always thought was awesome. It’s was kind of like being allowed to have dessert for dinner. Once I had my own family, we have always enjoyed either Ambrosia Salad or Cranberry Millionaire Salad with turkey dinner and then it occurred to me, since everyone loves it so much, why not make it into a dessert. Loaded with coconut, pineapple, oranges and marshmallows it was already practically a dessert anyhow.

I love this recipe in a graham crust but if you prefer a flaky crust, by all means, you can use your favorite recipe or even a store bought crust which you can bake and cool before filling! In fact, I have made this with a shortbread crust to rave reviews too!You’ll want to ensure you don’t drain your pineapple, you need the liquid to mix with the pudding!
The pie is pretty spectacular is as, but if you add pecans or maraschino cherries to your ambrosia salad, they can also go into this recipe too. Just be sure to drain your cherries well and fold them in at the end. I prefer to use sour cream in this recipe, but I have also made it with Greek yogurt and it was equally delicious. Be sure to use sweetened coconut flakes, they add sweetness needed to offset the tartness of the sour cream (or Greek yogurt).
