Can you substitue cool whip for sour cream in ambrosia salad?

I use cool whip instead of sour cream, it is a matter of choice and preference. Also, its yummy, I love the lighter sweet taste.

I wouldn't use cool whip and sour cream interchangeably... for that I would substitute plain unflavored yogurt. Has the same texture and sour taste. But if a recipe is still good with a lighter, sweeter taste, then I say go for it and try the cool whip! =0)

I dont think you can use cool whip and sour cream interchangeably. They have different tastes and textures (depending on the brand/fat content of the sour cream)

Yes, it will be a little sweeter in taste and lighter in texture.

I think plain yogurt would be a better substitute.

i only use cool whip

no. they are not only completely different items they have different flavors and purposes

sure, but it does not mean it will taste good, but you can try

yes---the more sugar the better
