Indulge in the sweet, tropical bliss of Vegan Ambrosia, a plant-based twist on the classic fruit salad that's perfect for any occasion. This no-cook, 15-minute recipe combines creamy coconut yogurt with vibrant pineapple chunks, juicy mandarin oranges, and fresh red grapes for a luscious medley of flavors and textures. Sweetened shredded coconut, optional slivered almonds for crunch, and fluffy vegan mini marshmallows elevate this dish to dessert-worthy status, while a hint of vanilla and optional maple syrup add an extra touch of sweetness. Serve it chilled for a refreshing treat that's light, fruity, and completely dairy-free. Perfect as a summer dessert or festive holiday side, this Vegan Ambrosia is an irresistible crowd-pleaser!
In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (if using). Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Gently fold in the pineapple chunks, mandarin orange segments, halved grapes, and shredded sweetened coconut.
If using slivered almonds, stir them in at this stage for a bit of crunch.
Carefully add the vegan mini marshmallows and fold them in gently to avoid breaking them apart.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the ambrosia a gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients evenly.
Serve chilled as a refreshing dessert or a light, fruity snack!
