You’ll need:
- 8-ounce block of cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest (plus additional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ¼ cup of sour cream
- ½ cup of powdered sugar
- 8 ounces of extra-creamy Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed
- 3 cups (1 pound container) of fresh blueberries, rinsed and patted dry, divided into 2¾ cups and ¼ cup

Substitutions And Additions
BLUEBERRIES: Fresh blueberries are best for this blueberry cream cheese salad recipe. Frozen blueberries that have been thawed give off too much moisture and will turn your cream cheese mixture a shade of purple.
WHIPPED TOPPING: You can substitute a standard whipped topping for the extra creamy, or even a homemade stabilized whipped cream for this delicious salad.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature, so you don’t end up with lumps in your creamy blueberry mixture.
STEP TWO: Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, sour cream, and powdered sugar to the beaten cream cheese. Beat for an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
STEP THREE: Gently fold the extra-creamy whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined.
STEP FOUR: Add 2¾ cups of fresh blueberries to the cream cheese mixture. Very carefully fold the blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, making sure not to burst any of the blueberries.
PRO TIP:
Be sure that after you rinse the blueberries, you gently pat them dry really well.
STEP FIVE: Add the can of blueberry pie filling to the mixture. Carefully fold the pie filling into the mixture until evenly combined.
STEP SIX: Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining ¼ cup of blueberries and an additional sprinkle of lemon zest.
STEP SEVEN: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the blueberry fluff in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

For best results, make sure you give your lemon blueberry fluff salad at least 1 hour of chilling time. It allows all of the yummy flavors to blend together.
