Hi Susan,
I found something that fits your description. It's called Ambrosia.
See here for a recipe and photo: Easy Ambrosia

Many thanks.
That is the name I couldn't remember.
Ambrosia.
It is beautiful. You might try it?
Phaed, thank you so much for this.
I hope you and yours have a peaceful Christmas.
Smiling
Susan

The first recipe below my father brought back from New Zealand in the early 1980's
The second (rather unusual) recipe came back with a friend about 5 years ago.
Timm in Oregon
