A 5 cup dessert? Just 5 ingredients? 5 minutes to prepare?
Today’s discussion, for this Grandma’s Super Simple 5 Cup Dessert post, is brought to you by DairyPure Sour Cream.
My Grandma’s recipe for 5 cup dessert (other common names include Sour Cream Dessert or Ambrosia) was a staple at our family holidays. She could whip it up in under 5 minutes. It would often be gone in under 2 minutes when myself and my 7 cousins dug in.
I worked with DairyPure to re-create Grandma’s recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as my cousins and I did!
I have improved on Grandma’s recipe by using DairyPure Sour Cream as it is is made with fresh cream and milk from their own dairy, with no artificial growth hormones. I also love that I can make the recipe with either variety: All Natural Sour Cream or Light Sour Cream ( PSST: the Light version contains 50% less fat and 41% fewer calories).

My grandmother used to make this when we were growing up.
I love simple! Even better if its simple and yummy! Thanks for sharing!
Love that it has the pineapple and mandarin oranges! Such a fun dessert!
So yummy! I remember my grandma used to make this. Love it.
Awww, I haven’t seen anyone post this before….my grandmother and I made this together for every family get together for years and years. She left this earth with cancer during my last semester in college. She raised me, and passed on all the home comfort food recipes to me. We added banana slices just before serving so they wouldn’t get brown but it is worth trying if you haven’t. Thank you for sharing and giving me a nice memory to think about today.
I remember my grandmother making this. (hated the coconut).
This is a perfect recipe for summer!
I’ve never heard of this before but it looks so delicious and I would love to make this one day
This is certainly an easy dessert to put together. Just have to remember to make it the night before.
Ambrosia sounds delightful and I have never made it. Thanks for sharing I will make this soon.
This looks and sounds yummy!
My Grandmother made this for me when I was a child. This is a delicious dish and great for a ladies lunch or shower.
I love fruit looking good
I haven’t had this since I was a kid. Thanks for the recipe!
This is an awesome recipe that would go well with my monthly community potluck.
This is an all time southern fav! The colors are so pretty and would be beautiful on an Easter brunch table or wedding or bridal shower.
This looks really good and quick and easy to make
My Grandma used to make something very similar. I think it was a thing during the 1970’s, lol. It’s really tasty.
We had something like this, too! Add a bit of whipped cream to the sour cream and add chopped pecans (maybe that’s a southern thing?) Thanks for reminding me!
