Ice Box Cake Updated

 Ken's family- the Hintons grew up eating a dessert they called Ice Box Cake.  It was very similar to this recipe, but I've made it easier using a store-bought graham crust.  It's not really a cake at all, but a yummy marshmallow/ fruit dessert.  In my updated version, it's more like a pie.

Ice Box Cake Updated
1- 9oz. (extra large) graham cracker crust
4 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows or 36 large marshmallows
1/4 cup milk

2 cups heavy cream
1/3 cup sugar
6 large, fresh peaches, peeled and sliced OR equivalent of other fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, bananas (the Hinton family favorite) or pineapple, etc.
Crushed graham crackers to sprinkle on top


Heat the marshmallows and milk together in the microwave until melted.  Frequently stop the microwave and stir and stir until melted.  Cool.

Meanwhile, whip the cream in a large bowl until it forms soft peaks.  Beat in the 1/3 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.  Cool the marshmallow.  (You can put it in the fridge for awhile.)
Fold the cream into the cooled marshmallow mixture.  Then gently fold the fruit or mixture of fruits into the marshmallow mixture, evenly distributing the fruit as best as possible.

.  Sprinkle with graham crumbs.  Refrigerate.
