lets look at the Facts from history before enjoying this sweet, refreshing and healthy dessert.

Ambrosia was the diet of the gods in Ancient Greek mythology. It is also described as conferring longevity or immortality on everyone who eats it.
At Olympus, it was brought to the gods by doves and served at the divine feast by Hebe.
Nowadays, a dessert made of shredded coconut and oranges is known as ambrosia.

This exquisite and delicious dessert is so light and airy, so it pairs well with the heavy food normally served at dinners on holidays. Party guests are going to think you've slaved on it for hours.
