Ambrosia known as food of the Gods in Ancient Greece times, giving the Gods immortal life. Nowadays its also known as a plant that causes severe hayfever reactions or more importantly a fruit salad dish.
The Sims definition is closer to the Ancient Greece term, it extends your Sims' life by 1 day every time he or she eats it. In The Sims 3 it is probably the most difficult dish to make because of the ingredients. It needs a Life fruit AND a Death fish. Ironically, it is a very easy dish in real life!

Cool Whip
Prep: 10min
Easy
Ingredients
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- optional 1/4 tsp vanilla
Directions
- Whip the cream with a whisk or wooden fork in a sturdy bowl until peaks form.
- Beat in the powdered sugar tablespoon by tablespoon, until it has something of a real shape and consistency to it. Voila, you're done! Sprinkle with some cinnamon if topping a pumpkin pie.
- I like giving it a light vanilla flavor– a little goes a long way, 1/8-1/4 tsp is really all you need. For some ideas, 1/4 tsp lemon extract with some yellow food dye makes for a nice lemon cream topping, same with strawberry extract and red food coloring. Almond extract with some crushed almonds on top? Mmm!
