Another old recipe from my Mom. A delicious and delightfully easy dessert. A handy recipe to have in your collection. You can substitute cherry pie filling with blueberry for example or other fruit pie fillings. Read more A great make ahead dessert for many occasions! I thought I should share this recipe before the little bits of paper fall apart and fade away forever. Let alone my memory!:) It requires refrigeration which I did not include in the total time. My pic is done with only one can of pie filling as the original recipe stated. It was fine but would have been better with two cans. Our sizes of cans have shrunk drastically since the 1950' and the price has increased? So squint and imagine the filling in the pic to be double the size and will be so much berry better! Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 3 cups graham cracker crumbs shopping list
- 1/2 cup melted butter shopping list
- 1/4 cup brown sugar shopping list
- Two 19 ounce cans of cherry or other berry pie filling shopping list
- 1/2 pint whipping cream whipped shopping list
- 3 cups fresh white miniature marshmallows shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Mix graham cracker crumbs with brown sugar and blend in butter until well combined.
- Using approximately 3/4 of the mixture pat down firmly and evenly in the bottom of a 9 inch x 9 inch pan. Reserve approximately 1/4 of the mixture for the top and set aside. Place pan on the middle rack in the oven for 10 minutes.
- While the pan is in the oven whip the whipped cream until stiff and fold in the marshmallows.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool. When the pan is cool empty the can of berry pie filling and spread the mixture evenly over the bottom. Then smooth the whipped cream and marshmallows over the top of the berry mixture. Then top evenly with the remaining graham cracker crumbs. Cover the pan securely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, 24 hours is even better. When serving cut with a sharp knife into portions you require and lift with a spatula or lifter. It may fall apart a bit but it will still taste heavenly!!! Refrigerate anything leftover.
