Grandma’s Super Simple 5 Cup Dessert Recipe

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).
