Ingredients
- 405 grams Arrowroot Cookies, finely crushed
- 398 mL canned crushed pineapple, very well drained (14 ounces)
- 1 1/2 cups mini white marshmallows
- 400 grams sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
Instructions
- Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Fold the parchment paper so that it fits snugly in the pan. I use two sheets – one folded to fit the length of the pan and another folded to fit across the pan. Allow the excess parchment paper to hang out over the side of the pan. Once the confection is firm, use the excess parchment to lift the whole block out of the pan to make it easy to cut into squares.
- Begin by draining the pineapple. The canned crushed pineapple must be drained well otherwise you will have too much liquid in the mixture to form a square or bar. I prefer to line a colander with cheesecloth and transfer the pineapple to it. Picking up the sides of the cheesecloth, I twist and force as much of the juice out of the pineapple as possible. Transfer the well-drained crushed pineapple to a mixing bowl.
- Transfer the arrowroot cookies to a food processor and pulse until you are left with fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to the mixing bowl with the pineapple.
- Add the mini white marshmallows to the mixing bowl as well. Use a spoon to mix those ingredients together.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the bowl and stir it well into the other ingredients until everything is well mixed and incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it in so that you have a very flat, firm layer. Refrigerate for a minimum of one hour before cutting into squares.
- Package and a food-safe container and keep refrigerated.
