Fruit Ambrosia

Fruit Ambrosia is a classic Southern dessert, and while I'm not from the South, I love it just the same. Rather than using that fake "whipped topping", this recipe (from Cook's Country Dec-Jan 2013) uses real whipped cream with a blend of sour cream, orange zest and vanilla. The technique of macerating fresh citrus fruit, and allowing the fruit juices to drain, yields a fluffy fruit salad that is creamy, not over-the-top sweet. Oh, don't forget the coconut (or not). Sweetened coconut is toasted and you have an updated version of Fruit Ambrosia.
