Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free sweetener (such as erythritol or stevia)
- 0.5 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup sugar-free mini marshmallows
- 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, drained
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, almond extract, vanilla extract, and sugar-free sweetener.
Use an electric mixer to whip the cream until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes on medium speed.
Fold in the Greek yogurt gently to combine, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut, sugar-free mini marshmallows, mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, and chopped walnuts to the bowl.
Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined and evenly distributed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the ambrosia salad chilled. Enjoy your refreshing low-carb treat!
