Gently fold together the Cool Whip and greek yogurt in a large mixing bowl.
Once incorporate, mix in the remaining ingredients until evenly combined and coated in the cream mixture.
Refrigerate and chill for at least 4 hours for the flavors to come out, or even overnight.
Serve chilled. Enjoy!
Notes
Chill Time: It is important to allow the southern ambrosia recipe to chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours. This helps the flavors to blend together and the marshmallows have time to soften and soak in the flavors.
Drain Cherries: Drain the canned fruit and jar of cherries well as not doing so will make the the salad will be watery.
Make Whipped Cream: You make this as instructed with cool whip, but to go the extra step you can also make your own whipped cream using this recipe.
