Sugar 2 tablespoons
Frozen whipped topping, thawed 1 (16 oz.) carton

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Jell-O Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the boiling water and the Jell-O packets for 3-4 minutes, or until the Jell-O powder is completely dissolved.
  2. Add Fruit & Chill: Stir in the drained crushed pineapple and the blueberry pie filling until fully incorporated. Transfer this mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the Jell-O mixture is set.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Topping: In a separate bowl or using an electric mixer, beat the room temperature cream cheese for 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy. Add the sugarand continue to beat for another 2-4 minutes, ensuring the sugar is completely dissolved into the cream cheese.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the thawed frozen whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and no streaks remain.
  5. Assemble & Chill Again: Carefully spread the cream cheese topping evenly over the set Jell-O mixture in the baking dish. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving, giving the topping time to set firmly.
  6. Serve: Once chilled, slice and serve.
