Tonight is New Year's Eve and after having less than eventful New Year's Eves for the last few years (sleeping through them), this year promises to be different. We are in Australia staying with my brother and sister in law, Mum is here too. My sister in laws family are also going to be with us. The menu planning started days ago, and while we have not totally decided on the starter and main, the desserts were quickly finalised.Ambrosia seems to be a favourite in many families...but is not one my side of the family has had before. It contains most of Isabella's favourite things - berries, yoghurt and marshmallows so on the one occasion she has eaten it she has almost inhaled it.
The recipe I have used is from a website I have recently discovered "The Search For NZ's Favourite Recipe". It was a web based competition in 2009 where recipes were submitted and voted for.
I've made this again in autumn when berries are not in such good supply and just used a bag of frozen berries. It works really well and means it stays cool out of the fridge.
I have also served this with crumbled meringues on top in individual glasses - the kids loved it.
