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
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the blueberry gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
Step 2
Add 1 cup of cold water and stir. Allow the gelatin mixture to cool slightly to room temperature.
Step 3
Once cooled, stir in the canned blueberry pie filling and the crushed pineapple (including the juice). Mix until well combined.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Once the gelatin layer is set, spread the cream cheese topping evenly over the top.
Step 8
Optional: Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top for added texture and flavor.
Step 9
Cover and refrigerate for an additional 1-2 hours, allowing the layers to chill and set together.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy your Creamy Blueberry Gelatin Salad!
