How to Make Marshmallow Pineapple Dessert

  1. In a large serving bowl (at least 4 quarts), empty one (1) 10-ounce bag of mini marshmallows.
  2. Open one (1) 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup of the juice. Pour the pineapple and juice over the marshmallows, and stir gently until combined.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, stirring every couple of hours to allow the pineapple juice to fully saturate the marshmallows. This step helps create the best texture.
  4. About 1 hour before serving, gently fold in one (1) 8-ounce container of thawed cool whip. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Cover and return to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!
