Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 21 ounces blueberry pie filling
- 1 ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 4 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed but still cold
- ½ cup sour cream
Add-Ins
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 ¾ cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup sliced almonds
For Garnish
- ½ cup fresh blueberries (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the blueberry pie filling, sweetened condensed milk, whipped topping, and sour cream until the mixture is well incorporated and smooth.
- Fold in Add-Ins: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, pineapple chunks, and sliced almonds until all ingredients are evenly distributed, taking care not to deflate the whipped topping to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
- Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and the salad to firm up slightly for better texture and serving consistency.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve the salad cold, and optionally garnish with fresh blueberries on top for added color and flavor. Enjoy as a refreshing dessert or a sweet side dish at any gathering.
Notes
- To keep the salad light and fluffy, do not overmix when folding in the marshmallows, pineapple, and almonds.
- This salad tastes best when served chilled, so plan ahead to refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Fresh blueberries on top add a nice touch of freshness and color but can be omitted if unavailable.
- For a nut-free version, omit the sliced almonds or substitute with sunflower seeds.
- Make sure the whipped topping is thawed but still cold to ensure proper folding and texture.
