Rachel's Lite Ambrosia
- 1 cup strawberry (a half-pint)
- 1 cup papaya, chunks (about 1/4 of a papaya)
- 14 cup maraschino cherry
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 5 -6 drops pineapple extract (no more than 1/8 tsp or so)
- 12 teaspoon sugar
- 13 cup sweetened desiccated coconut ("angel flake" coconut)
- Prepare the yogurt base by first putting the cup of plain yogurt into a serving bowl, stir it well to get all the lumps and liquid dispersion out.
- Add the sugar and lemon juice, stir again.
- Pineapple extract-- using a rounded 1/4-tsp size measuring spoon is good for this if you don't have an extender spoon, carefully pour into it, filling it a little less than halfway.
- Or, use a dropper to get about 5-6 drops of extract.
- Don't put in too much- a little really goes a long way with this stuff!
- No matter how you get it, put the teensy bit of pineapple extract into the yogurt mix and blend it well.
- Wash, husk, and cut the strawberries.
- Put the chopped strawberries into the yogurt and mix them in along with the papaya chunks and cherries.
- Add the shredded coconut to the mix.
