I have been craving ambrosia in the worst way. Since it’s the 4th of July I wanted to go more Patriotic than the standard ambrosia route with pineapples, mandarin oranges and cucka cherries. And I know some recipes call for heavy cream and sour cream but I wanted simple because I’m officially off for 4 days and want to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible.
*GASP!* “WHAT??? You don’t want to be in the kitchen??? Are you ill??? But we NEED our recipes!”
LOL never fear and no I’m not sick. I just need a little down time. However I can’t leave you guys hanging for the 4th so here ya go.
This is my ode to the 4th of July with a twist on your typical Ambrosia – with a hint of chocolate.
“Say what? Chocolate in ambrosia??”
Yup 🙂 And it’s FANTABULOUS!
Enjoy!
