Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 1 cup marshmallows (miniature)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by cooking your rice if it is not already prepared. Allow the rice to cool completely before proceeding, as warm rice will melt the whipped cream and ruin the texture of the dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled rice, drained crushed pineapple, and miniature marshmallows. Gently mix them together until evenly combined.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer until it begins to thicken. Slowly add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream gently into the rice mixture, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated without deflating the cream.
If desired, garnish the Glorified Rice with maraschino cherries for a pop of color and added sweetness.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill properly.
Serve cold and enjoy this nostalgic, creamy dessert!
