How to Make Hawaiian Marshmallow Dessert

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate or a 9x9 inch baking dish.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, melt 1 (10-ounce) package of marshmallows with 1 cup pineapple juice over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
Refrigerate the marshmallow mixture for 45 minutes to allow it to slightly thicken.
Gently fold in 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained, and 2 cups whipped topping (equivalent to 1 envelope of Dream Whip or similar).
Pour the marshmallow mixture into the cooled crust. Chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
