Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 ounces Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (thawed)
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans
- 1 cups Mini marshmallows
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 handful Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the crushed pineapple (with its juice) and mix until evenly combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping, chopped pecans, and mini marshmallows.
Prepare a standard muffin tin by lining each cup with a paper liner. Alternatively, you can lightly spray each cup with non-stick spray for easy removal.
Spoon the pineapple mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon for a neat finish.
Place the muffin tin in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
To serve, remove the frozen pineapple salads from the muffin tin. Peel off the paper liners, if used, and place on serving plates.
Garnish with a fresh mint leaf, if desired, and serve immediately.
