The blueberry topping is how my Mom always made her blueberry pies. The marshmallows, when folded into the cream mixture, stabilize it so it does not melt. This is really good.

Great for dessert or just a sweet snack. For the crust I use crushed gluten free cookies (some members of the family have celiac disease). Omit the marshmallows and carry on. Works equally well with strawberries or any chopped fruit. My fav is peaches

This sounds so good but I'm wondering also what happens to the whole mini-marshmallows? The picture makes it look very smooth.

Blueberry squares are very easy to make and one my family makes any time we have all the ingredients. It's easy and one we love to eat so it's made as often as we can. It's a keeper and going in my recipe box.
