Pineapple Icebox Cake - Mildred M.


You know those recipes you anticipate and think this will be amazing!  I can't wait to try it!  This is one of those.  You also know the recipes you know will be amazing and they completely live up to your expectation?  This isn't one of those.

This is very similar to this Fruit Salad recipe.  First the crust is just crumbs, but by the time I realized I should have combined the crumbs with butter it was too late.  The the top was just tasteless and marshmallowy.  We ended up throwing out the entire 9x13 with the exception of the few sample that were taken.

I also had to call my sister to debate on whether the recipe, which said, 1 pint whipped cream, meant 1 pint cream, whipped, or just a pint of cream, or 2 C of whipping cream.  We went with a pint whipped.

Pineapple Ice Box Cake
1 lb marshmallows
1 C milk
1 C nuts
1 lg can crushed pineapple, drained
1 pint whipping cream, whipped
Crushed graham crackers
2 T butter, melted

Mix butter and crackers and place in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.  Melt marshmallows over hot water (I used the microwave). Cool.  Add pineapple, nuts, and whipped cream. Pour moisture over graham cracker crust and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs and chill overnight.
