Blueberry Jello Salad

Another one with no picture...I'm sorry. I can't find one. But trust me....it's insanely good. You will want to make it. Your kids will thank you.

(2) 3 oz. pkgs. cherry jello
2 cups boiling water
20 oz. can crushed pineapple
22 oz. can blueberry pie filling
12 oz. cream cheese
12 oz. sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Dissolve jello in boiling water. Add ice cubes to partially thicken. Cubes should melt, if not, once jello is cool enough, remove the small leftover ice cubes that didn't melt. Mix pineapple and pie filling into jello. Pour into 13x9 inch pan and leave in refrigerator until jello is set. Meanwhile, mix together cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla. When jello is set, spread with cream cheese mixture.

Ashlee side note: Because she loves us so much, when my mom made this for us a few weeks back, she used 24 oz. of cream cheese (double) instead of just the 12 oz. It was sooooo good and creamy. What makes this jello dessert so different from the others is the use of the pie filling, which gives the jello a creamier texture as well. Sunday dinner here we come!

This is such a great recipe, my mother makes it every holiday. Our variation is this recipe but instead of using Cherry Jello we use grape with the blueberry filling. Also is great if you use strawberry jello with cherry pie filling, it's wonderful.
