Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Sugar | 2 cups |
| Margarine | 4 tbsp |
| Sugar | 1/2 cup |
| Miniature Marshmallows | 1 bag (about 4 cups) |
| Whipped Cream | 1 pint |
| Blueberry Pie Filling | 1 can (about 21 oz) |
| Optional: Chopped nuts or fruit for garnish |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Base:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sugar and margarine. Mix until well-blended. Press the mixture into a greased 13×9-inch baking pan, forming an even layer. Set this aside as the crust base for your dessert.
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the cream with the additional sugar until soft peaks form. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this step, making sure to beat until smooth and fluffy.
-
Combine the Marshmallows:
- Gently fold the miniature marshmallows into the whipped cream mixture. This adds a delightful texture to the filling and makes it extra creamy and fluffy.
-
Assemble the Dessert:
- Carefully spread half of the marshmallow-cream mixture over the prepared crust. This layer should be smooth and evenly distributed across the base.
-
Add the Blueberry Pie Filling:
- Spread the blueberry pie filling evenly over the marshmallow layer. This fruity topping adds sweetness and a burst of flavor.
-
Top It Off:
- Spoon the remaining marshmallow-cream mixture on top of the blueberry filling. Spread it evenly to cover the top of the dessert, creating a smooth and creamy finish.
-
Chill and Set:
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results. The marshmallow layers will set, and the flavors will meld together beautifully.
-
Serve:
- Slice into squares or bars and serve chilled. For extra decoration, consider topping with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a few fresh berries.
Tips:
- Blueberry Pie Filling: You can experiment with other pie fillings such as cherry, strawberry, or mixed berry for a different twist on the dessert.
- Make Ahead: This dessert is perfect for making ahead of time for a gathering or potluck. The longer it chills, the better the flavors come together.
- Customization: Add a handful of chopped fruit or nuts to the filling for added texture or flavor. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg can also complement the sweetness.
This marshmallow dessert is simple to prepare, yet indulgent and sure to be a crowd-pleaser. The creamy, marshmallow layers combined with the fruity blueberry topping make it a delightful treat that will leave everyone asking for the recipe.
Enjoy making this easy and delicious dessert, and feel free to experiment with different flavors or garnishes to make it your own!
