Ingredients for Ambrosia Tarts

  • Mandarin Oranges
  • Crushed Pineapple
  • Miniature Marshmallow
  • Flaked Coconut
  • 1 cup whipped topping (refrigerated)
  • Mini Graham Cracker Tart Crusts

How to Make Ambrosia Tarts

  1. In a medium bowl, gently combine 2 cups of your favorite chopped tropical fruits (mango, pineapple, etc.), 1 cup mini marshmallows, and ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut.
  2. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Spoon the ambrosia mixture into your favorite tart shells (about 6-8, depending on size).
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the tarts to chill before serving. Garnish with extra coconut flakes or a sprinkle of chopped nuts, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
