No-Bake Blueberry Dessert
A chilled blueberry dessert with pineapple, blueberry pie filling, and cream cheese topping
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 over the dessert just before serving.
Notes
Speed Chilling
You can speed up the cooling time for this dessert by chilling it in the freezer for 1 hour to set the gelatin layer.Substitution
Substitute 1 can of blueberries in light syrup (drained) for the can of crushed pineapple in this dessert.Nutrition
