How to Make Creamy Fruit Ambrosia

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup apricot preserves (or your favorite fruit preserves) until smooth.
  3. Divide the chilled fruit mixture evenly among 6 individual dessert dishes or glasses (approximately 1/3 cup per serving).
  4. Top each serving with 2 1/2 tablespoons of the yogurt mixture, 1 teaspoon of shredded sweetened coconut, and 1/2 teaspoon of chopped pecans.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with extra coconut or a sprig of mint if desired.
