Any flavour of jello will do. The ambrosia pictured above used dark cherry jello. To cut down on the sugar, use one regular jello, one sugar-free jello and sugar-free Cool Whip.

   2 pkgs. pineapple jello 
   2 cups boiling water
   2 cups cold water
   1 tub vanilla Cool Whip
   2 Tbsp. sour cream
   2 Tbsp. shredded sweetened coconut
   Maraschino cherries for garnishing

Method:.
  1. Drain crushed pineapple and set juice aside.
  2. Pour reserved pineapple juice into a measuring cup and add enough cold water to make 2 cups. 
  3. Dissolve the two packages of jello in boiling water, add cold water and refrigerate until set.  
  4. Using a fork, scramble jello, add all the remaining ingredients including the crushed pineapple.
  5. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Serve in individual ramekins and top each with a maraschino cherry.
