Pistachio Ambrosia Recipe 16-20 Servings Prep: 10 min. + chillingIngredients
- 2 cans (17 ounces each) fruit cocktail
- 2 cans (20 ounces each) pineapple chunks
- 2 cans (11 ounces each) mandarin oranges
- 4 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant pistachio pudding mix
- 2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream
- 1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- Chopped pecans, optional
Editor's tip- Instead of pecans opt for coconut shavings or crush pistachio. Cut the calories in half by using fat free whip and sugar free pudding(which could be hard to find), and either low fat sour cream or skip the sour cream.
