Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut yogurt
- 1 cup Canned pineapple chunks (in juice, drained)
- 1 cup Mandarin orange segments (canned or fresh)
- 1 cup Red seedless grapes (halved)
- 0.5 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.25 cup Slivered almonds (optional)
- 1 cup Vegan mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using). Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Gently fold in the pineapple chunks, mandarin orange segments, halved grapes, and shredded sweetened coconut.
If using slivered almonds, stir them in at this stage for a bit of crunch.
Carefully add the vegan mini marshmallows and fold them in gently to avoid breaking them apart.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the ambrosia a gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients evenly.
Serve chilled as a refreshing dessert or a light, fruity snack!
