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).

    These products are found in quite a few stores in my area. The closest is the Dollar General just .8 miles away (when my minivan broke down on the way to Detroit and was stuck in Detroit for three weeks waiting on parts, even though we managed to get a ride home, I went three weeks without a vehicle and the options were either wait for a family member to get home to drive me to the grocery store, or walk to Dollar General – I ended up making quite a few dinners from items I bought there). They are also carried by the main grocery store I shop at – just 2.5 miles from my house.

    I can buy Dairy Pure sour cream at Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens and a ton of corner stores near me. Btw, that recipe sounds yummy. Before I read the ingredients I thought that it was whipped topping in the photo lol. This is similar to the Ambrosia recipe that I have made before but I also add in nuts such as pecans or walnuts and some maraschino cherries. Thanks for the chance at this giveaway. Best of luck to all! Have a safe and blessed 4th everyone!
