Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- ⅔ cup confectioner’s sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping (thawed)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- ¼ teaspoon lemon extract (optional, for extra lemon flavor)
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 18 ounces fresh blueberries
- Fresh lemon zest (for garnish)
- Sliced almonds (for topping)
Instructions
- Beat Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioner’s sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Fold in Wet Ingredients: Gently fold in the whipped topping, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and optional lemon extract until all ingredients are well combined without deflating the whipped topping.
- Add Blueberries and Marshmallows: Carefully fold in fresh blueberries and mini marshmallows, mixing just enough to coat them evenly in the fluffy lemon mixture.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set slightly.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle sliced almonds and fresh lemon zest over the top to add texture and a burst of fresh citrus aroma.
Notes
- For a stronger lemon flavor, be sure to include the optional lemon extract.
- Use fresh blueberries for best texture and taste; frozen blueberries may release extra liquid and alter the fluff consistency.
- This dessert is best served chilled but should be eaten within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
- Sliced almonds can be toasted lightly for extra crunch and flavor.
- This recipe contains dairy and is not suitable for vegan or dairy-free diets.
