Blueberry Salad
12 servings
(points calculated by me personally)
with low fat sour cream: 2 pts per serving
with non fat sour cream: 1.5 pts per serving
2 packages of blackberry or black cherry sugar free Jell-o
1 cup boiling water
1 16-oz can blueberries (or frozen) (not pie filling)
1 16-oz can crushed pineapple
Topping:
¼ cup Splenda
3 oz cream cheese – fat free
½ pint sour cream - light or fat free
Mix and cool salad ingredients until set in a 7x11x2-inch dish. Do not drain fruit. Cream sugar and softened cream cheese. Mix in sour cream. Spread over Jell-o. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Chill at least 1 hour.
Note: My Mother made this for Thanksgiving and it was mostly gone Thanksgiving day. I have not tried it with fat free sour cream, but I do know it would be ok with fat free cream cheese. - Amy
