here it is





Ingredients











* Fruit salad


* Melons


* Coconuts


* Ice cream cones


* Whipped cream


* Cherry


* Knife





# Choose a serving method. For large crowds, consider using a large watermelon shell. If you're serving your fruit salad to a more intimate group, you can serve the fruit in halves of cantaloupe or honeydew melon shells.





# Slice the pineapple and melons into bite size pieces. Wash and halve the strawberries and rinse the blueberries and raspberries.





# Scoop the fruit out of your watermelon, cantaloupe or melon shells.





# Cut jagged edges into the top of each shell so that it resembles an ornate bowl. Fill the shells with various fruit chunks.





# Use coconut shells instead of melons. Scoop the coconut out before you fill the shell with fruit salad, and grate fresh coconut over the top before serving.





# Wrap a crepe around fruit chunks to create a fruit burrito. Drizzle a layer of honey on top of a crepe and decorate with fruit to make a fruit crepe pizza.





# Fill ice cream or waffle cones with the fruit salad and serve them as individual dishes. Top with whipped cream and a cherry to make it look like an ice cream sundae.





# Grill fruit chunks on a skewer and serve with dip.
This ones kinda close:





1 can (20 oz.) Dole chunk pineapple in juice or syrup


1 can (11 oz.) mandarin orange segments


1 1/2 cup seedless grapes


1 cup miniature marshmallows


1 cup flaked coconut


1/2 cup nuts


3/4 cup dairy sour cream


1 tablespoon sugar





And just add it all together :)
It's called ambrosia fruit salad.
