How to Make Glorified Rice

  1. In a medium bowl, gently combine 2 cups cooked rice, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup diced fresh pineapple (or 1 (20 ounce) can, drained), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Add 1 cup mini marshmallows and 1/2 cup maraschino cherries (drained), stirring gently to combine.
  3. Fold in 1 cup of whipped cream until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill thoroughly.
  5. Serve chilled and enjoy! Garnish with extra whipped cream and cherries, if desired.
