Thanks yes I've found that one on google too. Was hoping for some tried and true recipes from people, as there are so many different recipes.

I make just a plain traditional easy-peasey one . Whip 500ml cream to soft peaks. Fold through 1 litre of plain unsweetened yoghurt. Cut half a family bag of marshmallows in half. Drain a can of boysenberries. Fold all ingredients together. Leave them swirled, don't mix them too much. Cover and refridgerate until you are ready to eat. Stir and serve. This can be made the day before. Drain the boysenberries into a sieve while you whip the cream and cut the marshmallows. Really really easy and super yummy!

I do more or less the same, but with a berry yoghurt and fresh berries. It's delicious. I usually try and make it on the day.

For fruit, I use pineapple pieces and grapes( they don't go mushy like some ) along with marshmellos, a fruit flavoured yoghurt,whipped cream and just before serving I stir in halved pascal pineapple lumps and sprinkle toasted coconut over the top. Fresh mango and passionfruit pulp is delightful too.

I make it on the day also as i often I use tinned drained berries and excess liquid pools at the bottom the next day.

Mum used to always soak the marshmellows in sherry, then add whipped cream. Done. Had it many times as a kid hahaha, and thought it was weird when I got older and people added fruit and yoghurt and no sherry.

Adding some fresh berries make a world of difference. Crushed meringues added just before serving add crunch. It is one of the easiest and most delicious desserts there is so good choice!

Just don't put grapes or pieces of Mandarin in it like some do.

And. don't forget to add at least 2 chocolate flakes too. Just crumble them in your hands then stir gently through. Indeed - ambrosia is 'the food of the gods".

Mine is similar but I use a small pottle of boysenberry yoghurt and add 1/2 the marshmellows when I make it and the other 1/2 a couple of hours before serving

I find the fruit yoghurt makes it a bit sweet (as does choc and meringue) I like the sour of the yoghurt the richness of the cream the sweet marshmallows and the burst of berry. But we all like it different. I also make one with cream, custard and pineapple lumps .

A colleague made the sour cream version which was very nice. Beat 500g sour cream till creamy, add grapes, pineapple, strawberries, marshmallows. Halved pineapple lumps.

I make it for kids all the time. I use sweetened yogurt (the not so sweet ones) any flavour, half the amount of thickened cream to yogurt or whip your cream. Gives it a lighter texture. You can then add almost any fruit you want. I keep away from citrus but kids love berries, apples, pears and mangoes. You need to add marshmallow or something similar to absorb some moisture.
Edited to say tastes best the next day.
