A simple treat that feeds a crowd! This dessert has two layers – a blueberry filling and a sweet sour cream/cream cheese topping! Sprinkle with walnuts if desired. 🙂
Good morning!! Yesterday morning was a busy one, and I ended up deciding to wait until today to share another recipe on the blog. It’s been almost two weeks since I posted a dessert recipe (and I know those are everyone’s favorites), so coming up next is this Blueberry Dessert Salad. Note: this is not a healthy salad, but it is so good. Best served on occasion. 😉
I can hear a chorus of little birds talking to each other outside the window right now, and it makes me happy. I always wonder what they are saying.
“Oh, what a beautiful mooorrrnniiinnnggg…”
“Seriously, dude, stop. I despise that song.”
“You just don’t know a good movie when you see one.”
“Maybe not, but I know a terrible movie when I see it. HA.”
“Ooo…look at the blueberry salad that girl is posting on her blog today. I bet it is phenomenal.”
(Just kidding.)
This recipe is one that my mom likes to use around holidays and other special occasions. It’s always a hit and makes enough to feed a crowd. I’m not completely sure where she originally got the recipe. (It’s hard to keep track of all these family recipes sometimes.) 🙂
I have a confession to make: the cream cheese topping has always been my favorite part. The blueberries are delicious, but sweetened cream cheese… You just can’t beat that. As a kid, I would usually eat the blueberries first, and then savor the topping. As an adult, well, I would never do something like that.
Note: the walnuts are optional. Sometimes I include them and sometimes I don’t. If you have an allergy, you can always leave them off or replace them with a different nut (preferably one that you are not allergic to).
