Blueberry Lemon Fluff Salad, a creamy dessert “dump” salad that takes the traditional fun of cool whip and fluffy marshmallows and combines fun fruit flavors for a side dish dessert salad that everyone loves!
Fluff Salad Re-invented
Ready to splurge on some calories and need more fluff salads to serve with your Hawaiian Cheesecake Salad, Apple Pie Fluff Salad, Watergate recipe, Ambrosia and this fruit salad fluff with cool whip? Totally not traditional flavors, I made a blueberry and lemon fluff salad. Not a fluff but also just as good, make sure you grab the recipe for Snickers Apple Salad too!
The delicious blueberry filling combined with just a tad of the lemon tart, makes this fluff salad a not-to-sweet not-to-savory dessert salad option.
The other day I set out to prepared some brand new fluff salad recipes that shied away from the traditional pistachio flavors of Watergate before us.
I still love the whole concept, I mean is there ever a time that cool whip isn’t a YES? But they can get mundane and predictable and this was one of the new recipes that worked out.
Now out of all my fluff salad ideas, this is the one that still needs a bit perfected. The lemon curd overpowers the blueberry and turns it more into a Lemon-Blueberry Fluff instead of a Blueberry-Lemon fluff and I am not going to give up till its perfect.
In the mean time, however, it makes a fun fluff dessert that we all did enjoy so Id love your feed back.
(psst, want my favorite? Its this Apple Pie Fluff Salad, woah!)
Blueberry Lemon Fluff Salad
- 1 cup Blueberry Filling
- 8 oz cool whip, chilled
- 1/4 cup Lemon Creme (this filling is also in the fruit pie filling aisle)
- 2 cups of white mini marshmallows
- 1 cup of Heat and Serve Vanilla Pudding
Premake your vanilla pudding – If you use “heat and serve” its very quick and can be used in under 20 minutes.
The longer it sits, the more it thickens, so give it at-least 15-20 minutes prior to mixing in. The longer, the better.
Combine 1 cup of Vanilla pudding, 1 cup of blueberry filling, 1/4 cup of lemon curd, and 8 oz of cool whip.
Fold until combined.
Now add white mini marshmallows.
Feel free to crunch up vanilla wafers for a “crumb” topping or dip your cookies right in!
Can be served immediately or if you want the marshmallows to REALLY fluff up, put in the fridge overnight!

So I haven’t made this yet but I just wanted to share my ideas on a few changes I am thinking of making, the first being I’m not a big fan of marshmallows, so I am going to leave them out. Another thought I had since you said the lemon overpowered the blueberry was leaving the lemon pie filling out and using lemon pudding mix instead of vanilla. Another option is to skip the pudding and use cream cheese that you add fresh lemon juice and some zest. Let me know if you like any of these ideas, I love the flavor combo for this dip so definitely going to be having some fun testing these ideas out!!

Hi Lynn! I think fluff salads are so easy to get experimental with. I think you may need some marshmallows to sorta soak up the pudding mix but maybe try adding more thick whipped cream or marshmallow fluff (over marshmallows!). Have fun!!!
