Ambrosia (fruit salad)

Ambrosia is a special type of fruit salad that is yummy and sweet, just like a dessert! People have been making ambrosia for a long, long time because it's so delicious.

To make ambrosia, grown-ups take a bunch of different fruits like oranges, pineapples, and sometimes even coconut and marshmallows! They mix them all together in a big bowl and add a special ingredient called sour cream.

Sour cream might sound kind of gross, but it actually makes the ambrosia taste even better. It's like putting a secret ingredient in the recipe to make it extra yummy.

Once everything is all mixed up, the grown-ups put the ambrosia in the fridge to chill so it's nice and cold when it's time to eat. Then they serve it up in bowls or on plates and everyone can enjoy the sweet and fruity treat.

So, ambrosia is like a special fruit salad that has a secret ingredient that makes it taste amazing. It's a perfect dessert for when you want something sweet and fruity to eat.
