Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan to create a solid crust.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Dream Whip mix with cold milk and beat according to package directions until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold in the miniature marshmallows and the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed throughout the whipped topping.
  6. Spoon the fluffy filling over the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or overnight, to allow the filling to set firmly before serving.
