Description

This light and airy Peach Ambrosia is a delightful chilled dessert that captures the essence of summer in every bite. Combining the natural sweetness of ripe peaches with the tropical flair of coconut, this dish offers a creamy, smooth texture that melts in your mouth. The use of unflavored gelatin ensures a delicate set, while the low-cal vanilla shake mix adds protein and a subtle vanilla richness without heavy cream. It is an ideal treat for warm afternoons, potlucks, or as a refreshing end to a light meal. Simple to prepare and visually appealing with its vibrant peach chunks, this ambrosia is a crowd-pleaser that balances freshness and indulgence perfectly.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let it stand for 5 minutes to soften.
  2. In a blender, combine the skim milk, vanilla shake mix, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
  3. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the softened gelatin to the blender and pulse briefly to dissolve completely.
  5. Pour the mixture into a large bowl or serving dish.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped peaches and coconut until evenly distributed.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the mixture has set firmly.
  8. Serve chilled in individual portions.

Note

For best results, use ripe but firm peaches so they hold their shape in the mixture.

If you prefer a thicker texture, you can add an additional half package of gelatin.

This dessert can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover tightly to prevent it from absorbing other odors.

You can substitute the coconut with chopped nuts or additional fruit for variation.

Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved before adding the fruit to avoid uneven setting.
