Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 8 oz can crushed pineapple drained and juices reserved
- 2 cups whipped topping I like SoDelicious CoCoWhip
- 2 cups red grapes
- 3/4 cup gluten free mini marshmallows
- 3 small or 2 large bananas sliced
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and salt until smooth. In a separate bowl, stir together cornstarch and 1 Tablespoon reserved pineapple juice until dissolved then add to the egg and sugar mixture and whisk to combine.
- Pour the mixture into a small saucepan then turn heat to medium and whisk constantly until the custard is just about to simmer. If the eggs begin to scramble, remove pan from the heat then whisk quickly to smooth back out.
- Turn heat to low then switch to a spatula and continue stirring constantly until the custard is very thick, 5 minutes. Pour the custard through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl then set aside to cool. Can be done up to several days ahead of time - cool completely then refrigerate with a piece of saran wrap placed directly on top of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
- Add the cooled custard to a large bowl with the drained pineapple and whipped topping then stir to combine. Fold in grapes and marshmallows then refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight. Fold in bananas just before serving.
