Ingredients

Scale

Blueberry Layer

  • 1 box Raspberry Jell-O (6 oz)
  • 1 cup Hot Water
  • 1 can Blueberry Pie Filling (approx. 21 oz)
  • 1 can Crushed Pineapple (20 oz, drained)

Topping

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 8 oz Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Optional garnish: chopped pecans or fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare Blueberry Layer: Drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Dissolve the raspberry gelatin completely in one cup of hot water, stirring well to ensure there are no clumps.
  2. Mix Fruit and Jello: In a large bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple and blueberry pie filling. Stir the fully dissolved jello mixture into the fruit filling until well incorporated.
  3. Chill Blueberry Layer: Pour the combined mixture into your chosen baking dish. Place it in the refrigerator and chill until the gelatin layer is firm, which usually takes about 2 to 3 hours.
  4. Prepare Topping: Let the cream cheese rise to room temperature for easier mixing. Using a hand mixer, blend the softened cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract together until smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.
  5. Apply Topping: Once the blueberry layer has set, spread the creamy topping evenly over it with a spatula to create a smooth layer.
  6. Garnish and Final Chill: Optionally, garnish with chopped pecans or fresh blueberries to add texture and visual appeal. Return the assembled dessert to the refrigerator and chill until fully set, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the crushed pineapple is well drained to avoid making the jello layer too watery.
  • The cream cheese should be softened to room temperature for a smooth, lump-free topping.
  • This dessert needs several hours of chilling time, so plan ahead to allow for proper setting.
  • You can substitute blueberry pie filling with fresh blueberries lightly sweetened if preferred, but the texture may vary.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the chopped pecans garnish.
