Questions I often get asked about this recipe:
Can I use fresh blueberries instead of pie filling?
Yes, but you may need to adjust the sweetness as fresh blueberries are less tart.
I don’t like almonds, what can I use instead?
Chopped walnuts, pecans, or even shredded coconut would be great alternatives.
I don’t have sour cream, can I leave it out?
Yes, but the salad may be a bit sweeter. You could try using plain yogurt instead.
How long can I store leftovers?
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but the texture may become softer.
Can I freeze this salad?
It’s not recommended as freezing can affect the texture of the whipped topping and cream cheese in the pie filling.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! This salad actually benefits from chilling for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
