How to Make Pink Lady Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 13x9 inch baking pan (or an 11x7 inch pan).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
  3. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the cracker mixture for topping.
  4. Press the remaining cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  5. In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, heat 1 cup of orange juice.
  6. Add 10 ounces of mini marshmallows to the warm orange juice and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly until the mixture begins to thicken, but is still pourable (about 10-15 minutes).
  8. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled marshmallow mixture along with 1 ½ cups of drained canned fruit cocktail (or your favorite fruit – peaches, mandarin oranges, etc.).
  10. Pour the marshmallow mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
  11. Sprinkle the reserved 2 tablespoons of cracker topping evenly over the top.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set completely before serving.
