Its only a 3hr drive. Just make it, put it in a chilly bin with freezer packs. That will keep it chilled.
It won't thaw well.

My thoughts exactly.
mcgeown, have your chilly bin well chilled before you put everything (the ambrosia + ice packs) into it and your ambrosia will IMO arrive in far better condition than if you freeze it. Safe travels and all the best.:-))

As others have said. well iced packed chilly bin (empty wine bladders refilled with water or large sized zip sealed bagsfilled with water and then frozen are perfect for lining the bottom of your chilly bin, use as well as your chilly bricks that fit into the lid)then layer a clean tea towel on top,then your food and simply make up the ambrosia when you arrive: If you want the marshmallows to be soft and become part of the texture of the ambrosia, rather than biggish lumps, then slice them into the yoghurt, and reseal into a tupperware dish, and then just add the freshly whipped cream, berries, etc upon arrival.

Do not freeze!I froze some the first time I made it - it tasted OK but did not look very pretty.

I always add the berries to mine still frozen, by the time it is ready to be eaten they have partially thawed and add a nice texture.Definitely crumble to meringues in just before serving though.
