Ambrosia-Salad

I remember having Ambrosia Salad every Christmas at my grandmothers house. I loved it. Who doesn’t love a good ambrosia salad? It’s perfect for holidays but I eat it year around!

I like the mix of fruit in this recipe but the pudding mix makes all the difference! It’s sooo creamy and delicious.

So easy to make! Fantastic!!!

3 Ingredient Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake

I had this 3 Ingredient Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake for the first time at my cousins’ house! I could not believe it when she told me you just dumped 3 ingredients into a pan (no bowls or mixing) and just baked it!

It’s really great and just too easy!

I recommend waiting a day or so before you eat this if you can help yourself. This will allow the cake to blend a bit. It will be moister and will have more of the cherry flavor soaked into it.

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • confectioners' sugar or granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.

  3. Dust hands with confectioners' sugar and shape dough into 1 1/2" balls. Allow the balls to sit on the counter for a few minutes. This allows them to dry slightly so the powdered sugar will not be absorbed so much.
  4. Roll the balls in confectioners' sugar and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until center is JUST SET.

This No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Pie is delicious and exceptionally easy to make. I believe I made it in about 10 minutes.

 

It’s so light and creamy and pretty enough for company.

Everybody who has tried this pie LOVED it.

I am especially amused when I take it to a pot luck and people think I bought it because I can top it with the neat cover the ready-made crust comes with!

Be sure to chill well for a firm cheesecake.
