Ambrosia Squares Recipes

• Place the cream and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment and whip until stiff peaks are formed. Add the sour cream and whisk to combine. Add the marshmallows, orange, pineapple, coconut, pecans and cherries and stir to combine. Transfer to a glass serving bowl, cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Prepare graham crumb crust recipe, adding nuts to mixture.
• Press firmly into 13 x 9" pan.
• Chill.
• Beat cream cheese until soft.
• Gradually add 1/2 c of the milk, beat until smooth.
• In seperate bowl, prepare pudding mix as directed on pkg using the remaining 2 1/2 cups milk.
• Add prepared pudding to cream cheese mixture in three additions, beating on low speed.
• Fold in oranges.
• Layer bananas on crust.
• Spoon pudding mixture over bananas, spread prepared dessert topping evenly over pudding mixture.
• Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
• Chill 4 hours.
• Cut into squares.
• (for toasted coconut, I usually just put under broiler for a minute or 2 and stir a couple of times, others may choose to'bake' it first).

Steps:

• In a glass serving bowl, form a single layer of orange slices and top with a few slices of banana. Sprinkle a thin layer of coconut over the top. Repeat layering until all of these ingredients are finished, reserving a tablespoon of the coconut. Stir together the juices and honey, if using, and pour over the fruit. Follow with the Cointreau, if desired, and a final sprinkling of coconut. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for several hours.
