Ingredients
- 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 4½ teaspoons white vinegar
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 Granny Smith apples, diced
- 1½ cups peanuts
- 1 (8-ounce) tub Cool Whip
Instructions
- Drain the juice from the can of pineapples into a small saucepan; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining crushed pineapple and the miniature marshmallows. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- In the small saucepan with the pineapple juice, add the sugar, flour, vinegar and egg, and whisk together. Place the pan over medium heat and cooking, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until the mixture thickens and reaches 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, add the pineapple and marshmallow mixture to the custard, then stir in the chopped apples and peanuts. With a rubber spatula, fold in the Cool Whip until completely combined. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until serving. Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
