Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

Blueberry Pie Filling
The star of the dish, providing rich color, juicy fruit, and natural sweetness. Canned or homemade filling works beautifully.

Mini Marshmallows
Add sweetness and a fluffy texture that gives the dessert its signature “delight.” They soften slightly as the dessert chills, creating a pillowy consistency.

Whipped Topping (Cool Whip)
Light and creamy, it binds all the ingredients together and gives that melt-in-your-mouth fluffiness.

Cream Cheese
Adds tang and richness, balancing the sweetness and making the dessert ultra-smooth.

Vanilla Extract
Brings warmth and enhances all the other flavors without overpowering them.

Fresh Blueberries (optional)
For garnish or a pop of freshness, sprinkle a few on top before serving.

Crushed Pineapple (optional)
Adds tropical sweetness and moisture for a more layered flavor profile.

Chopped Pecans or Walnuts (optional)
Provide crunch and contrast for those who love a bit of texture.

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the blueberry pie filling and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined.
3. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is fluffy and uniform in color.
4. Add the mini marshmallows (and crushed pineapple or nuts, if using) and stir lightly to combine.
5. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or individual cups, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
6. Before serving, top with fresh blueberries or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for garnish.

FAQs

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of pie filling?

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely. It actually tastes better after chilling for a few hours as the flavors meld.
