Mini Retro Ambrosia Pies

These Mini Retro Ambrosia Pies offer a nostalgic twist on a classic ambrosia salad, presenting it in an adorable and convenient mini pie form. Enjoy the fusion of flavors and textures in each delightful bite!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 container of OC Salsa Rica Pineapple Fluff or Cranberry Fluff (available in the deli section of your local SoCal Albertsons, Vons and Pavilions)

• Mini graham cracker crusts (store-bought or homemade)

• 1/2 cup fresh cranberries

• 1/4 cup shredded coconut

• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts work well)

PREPARATION:

1. Prepare the Fluff: Measure out 1 cup of OC Salsa Rica Pineapple Fluff or Cranberry Fluff.

2. . Prepare Mini Graham Cracker Crusts: If you're using store-bought mini graham cracker crusts, skip to the next step. If making your own, you can do so by combining graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and pressing the mixture into mini pie tins. Bake according to the crust recipe or package instructions.

3. Fill the Mini Crusts: Spoon the OC Salsa Rica Pineapple Fluff or Cranberry Fluff into the mini graham cracker crusts, distributing it evenly among them.

4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped fresh cranberries over the fluff, providing a burst of tartness and color. Add a layer of shredded coconut for a tropical twist and extra texture. Sprinkle chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) on top, providing a delightful crunch.

5. Chill: Place the mini pies in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld and the filling to set.

6. Serve: Once chilled, take the mini retro ambrosia pies out of the refrigerator. Optionally, garnish with additional cranberries, coconut, or nuts for a decorative touch.

7. Enjoy: Serve these delicious mini pies at your retro-themed gathering or any occasion. They are a delightful combination of creamy fluff, tart cranberries, sweet coconut, and crunchy nuts, all nestled in a bite-sized graham cracker crust.
