Ingredients

Scale

Jello Layer

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

Cream Cheese Topping

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 8 oz Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Garnish

  • Chopped Pecans or Fresh Blueberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Drain Pineapple Thoroughly: Drain the crushed pineapple well to avoid excess liquid that could interfere with the jello setting.
  2. Dissolve Jello: Dissolve the raspberry gelatin powder in one cup of hot water, stirring until fully dissolved to create a smooth mix.
  3. Combine Fruit Fillings: In a large bowl, stir together the drained crushed pineapple and blueberry pie filling for a flavorful fruit base.
  4. Mix Jello with Fruit: Stir the dissolved jello mixture into the fruit filling thoroughly, then pour this combined mixture into a baking dish and refrigerate until firm.
  5. Prepare Cream Cheese Topping: Allow the cream cheese to reach room temperature to facilitate smooth blending.
  6. Blend Topping Ingredients: Using a hand mixer, blend the softened cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  7. Spread Topping: Once the blueberry gelatin layer is set and firm, spread the creamy topping evenly over it.
  8. Garnish and Chill: Garnish the top with chopped pecans or fresh blueberries if desired, then chill the dessert again until fully set before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain the pineapple very well to prevent a watery jello consistency.
  • Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth topping.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and can be made a day ahead, allowing flavors to meld.
  • Optional garnishes add texture and visual appeal but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Use a clear dish to show off the colorful layers beautifully.
