Equipment

  • 1 9 1/2 x 13-inch casserole dish or pan

Ingredients
  

Gelatin Layer
  • 6 ounces grape gelatin
  • 2 cups water, boiling
  • (1) 20-ounce can crushed pineapple
  • (1) 21-ounce can blueberry pie filling
Topping
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ⅓ cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

Gelatin Layer
  • Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water. Set aside to cool for about 15 minutes. Then, place it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to let it cool to the consistency of egg whites. (A thicker consistency helps keep all the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the gelatin.)
  • Add the pineapple and pie filling to the gelatin, stirring until well combined. Then, place the gelatin mixture into a 9 1/2 x 13-inch dish or pie pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until set.
Topping
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, vanilla, sugar, and sour cream until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the congealed gelatin.
  • Chill for 1-2 hours. If using pecans, sprinkle them on top of the dessert just before serving.

Notes

Speed Chilling

You can speed up the cooling time for this dessert by placing it in the freezer for 1 hour to chill the gelatin layer.

Substitution

Substitute one can of drained blueberries in light syrup for the can of crushed pineapple in this dessert.
