Grandma’s Super Simple 5 Cup Dessert Recipe

July 1, 2017 By Shelley Zurek 346 Comments

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. 

Grandma's Super Simple 5 cup Dessert Sour Cream Dessert Ambrosia Dessert
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).

    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.

    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!
