How to Make Yallow Mallow Pie

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, gently stir together 10 ounces of mini marshmallows and 1/2 cup of reserved pineapple syrup. Cook, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
  2. Pour the marshmallow mixture into a bowl and refrigerate until thickened (approximately 30-45 minutes).
  3. In a separate chilled bowl, beat 2 cups of cold heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the chilled marshmallow mixture into the whipped cream until well combined.
  5. Add 1 (20 ounce) can of drained crushed pineapple (reserving 1/2 cup of the juice), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the marshmallow-cream mixture. Fold until just combined.
  6. Pour the filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust. Garnish with the reserved 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple.
  7. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set completely before serving.
