How to Make Ambrosia Parfaits

  1. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt cheese with ½ cup of sweetened shredded coconut. Mix until well combined.
  2. Prepare your favorite fruit salad (approximately 2 cups, a mix of berries, mango, kiwi recommended).
  3. Layer the yogurt mixture, fruit salad, and mini marshmallows (¼ cup) in 4 parfait glasses or small dessert bowls. Start with a layer of yogurt mixture, followed by fruit salad, and then marshmallows. Repeat the layers until your glasses are full.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the parfait to set. Garnish with extra coconut flakes or a sprig of mint, if desired.
