Ingredients
- 1 pre-made vanilla wafer crust
- 2 cups fresh or canned pineapples, diced
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup whipped cream (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the diced pineapples and butter over medium heat. Cook until the butter is melted and the pineapples are warmed through.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and marshmallows until well combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the warm pineapple mixture to the egg and marshmallow mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Cook this mixture over low heat until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Cool the Mixture: Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Once cooled, fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the pineapple and marshmallow cream mixture into the pre-made vanilla wafer crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Serve: Before serving, top the pie with additional whipped cream and garnish with extra pineapple chunks, if desired.
