Ingredients

2-1/4 cups flaked coconut, divided
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 can (20 ounces) DOLE® Crushed Pineapple in 100% Pineapple Juice, undrained
32 large marshmallows
2 teaspoons rum or vanilla extract

Cook and stir over medium heat until marshmallows are melted. Remove from the heat. Add pineapple, extract and salt; mix well. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until cool.
Fold in the whipped cream; spoon into prepared crust. Sprinkle with toasted coconut. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8 servings.
