whipped cream

whipped cream, Rich's is non-dairy is also great to mix in after the wine, of course there goes your layering unless you add the cream b/t the layers. might work.

hello

I liked the ambrosia recipe, I like fruit salad, fruit juices and fruit shakes - I definitely liked your recipe - I feel some people should take some interest in horticulture and pomology, I feel fruit recipes are "yummy". I feel some should have fruit based recipes or items at least once a week, it will be good for the health also - thanks
