For a fruity, satisfying dessert, we like this smooth and creamy pudding. Since the recipe makes a big batch, it's nice for a potluck. Try it the next time warm weather makes you crave a cool and slightly sweet treat. -Carol Lynn Chizzoniti, Holbrook, New York

I made this for a friend's wedding reception and it was a big hit. I'm not a fan of pecans but used chopped walnuts. Very satisfying dessert!!

This is a very good dessert! The only change I would make would be to use milk instead of the fruit juice, it was too sweet for my tastes. Also, we put shredded coconut on top, delicious!

Much simpler, easier recipe for this ambrosia is: small cool whip, pistachio pudding (not cooked, just the powder), and one can crushed pineapple (including juice). For larger groups, double cool whip.

It is really yummy! However, I do agree that it makes too much of the pudding mixture. I just cut that in half and it was perfect. I also lightened it up a bit by using light whipped topping and sugar free pudding. It tasted just as delicious. I will definitely make it again!

Really good but it makes way too much of the pudding mixture. I only used about 1/3 and it was perfect. Next time I will use chunky fruit cocktail. I added sliced bananas and a few mini marshmellows would be nice too.
