Ambrosia

This is a recipe that was given to me from a lady that I worked with about 15 years ago.

Prep. Time: 15 minutes
Chill: At least 1 hour
Serves: 6

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, or to taste
1 large can fruit cocktail, drained well

Mix cream cheese, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk.  Add fruit cocktail; chill for at least 1 hour.

My Variations*:
For a healthy alternative, use 2 cups vanilla or any flavored yogurt in place of cream cheese, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk
Add 1/2 cup flaked coconut
Add 1 cup mini marshmallows
Add 1 apple, cubed
Add 1 banana, sliced
Add 1 can chunk pineapple, drained
Add 1 cup fresh grapes
Add 1 small can mandarin oranges, drained

*If you add a lot of extra ingredients, increase the amount of cream cheese, heavy cream, and condensed milk (or yogurt)
