Vary by using a cup of mixed berry yoghurt and 300ml cream (whipped ) mix together, add the drained boysenberries & marshmallows - leave out the Tim Tams - throw in fresh berries if you have them. It's a real favourite in our house

Hi Evelyn,

Thanks for your question. Our recipe for Ambrosia is made with 1kg of Greek-style yoghurt with honey. As a tip we’ve added that you can actually achieve a lighter ambrosia if you mix 500g of yoghurt and 300g of cream. However, because this is not the main recipe we don’t list it in the ingredients. We hope this helps.

Regards,

A nice quick and easy dessert. The sweet biscuits help balance the sour tang from the yoghurt.

I liked the ambrosia, as it is a change from my old recipe which used cultured sour cream instead of greek yoghurt and also used to add banana, pineapple, passionfruit and shredded coconut.
