Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can crushed pineapple, drained Draining is key; you want the pineapple flavor without extra liquid.
  • 1 cup whipped cream Stabilized whipped cream works well if you need it to hold longer.
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows For that classic pillowy texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Drain the canned crushed pineapple well in a colander, pressing gently to remove excess juice. You want it moist but not soupy.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the drained pineapple, pour in the whipped cream, and toss in the mini marshmallows.
  3. Mix gently with a spatula until everything is evenly combined — don't over-beat or you'll deflate the whipped cream.
  4. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This helps the marshmallows soften and the flavors marry.
  5. Serve chilled in a bowl or pretty glass and enjoy your tropical treat!

Notes

For extra richness, use sweetened whipped cream or fold in a little cream cheese. Drain the pineapple in a fine colander for 10–15 minutes; gently press with the back of a spoon to remove extra liquid. Use cold whipped cream for best volume. Chill at least an hour for improved texture.
