Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packages (3 oz each) blueberry gelatin
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 21 oz canned blueberry pie filling
- 8 oz crushed pineapple in juice
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 0.5 cup optional topping: chopped pecans
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the blueberry gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water and stir. Allow the gelatin mixture to cool slightly to room temperature.
Once cooled, stir in the canned blueberry pie filling and the crushed pineapple (including the juice). Mix until well combined.
Pour the gelatin mixture into a 9x13-inch glass dish or a similar serving dish. Cover and refrigerate for about 2-3 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
While the gelatin is setting, prepare the creamy topping. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined, forming a light and airy topping.
Once the gelatin layer is set, spread the cream cheese topping evenly over the top.
Optional: Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top for added texture and flavor.
Cover and refrigerate for an additional 1-2 hours, allowing the layers to chill and set together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Creamy Blueberry Gelatin Salad!
