This April's Monthly Cook Off at Bob Steele Chevrolet was marshmallow themed so we got to taste all kinds of sweet treats just in time for Easter! The winning recipe, Cherry Squares, incorporated marshmallows in an unexpected, yet totally delicious way! One look at the recipe below and you're going to want to whip up a batch right away!
Cherry Squares Recipe
Makes about 16 squares
Preparation Time: 45 minutes
Graham Cracker Crust:
2 Cups Crushed Graham Crackers
1 Tbs Sugar
1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter, Melted
Marshmallow Filling:
1 Cup Cold Heavy Whipping Cream
1 Tbs Sugar
3/4 Tsp Vanilla Extract
2 ½ Cups Mini Marshmallows
Cherry Topping:
1 Can of Cherry Pie Filling
First, mix together your melted butter, graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Remove and set aside about 2/3 cup of the crumb mix and then press the rest of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a prepared pan (we used a 9 inch square baking pan). Cover the crust with plastic wrap and then allow it to firm up in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
For the marshmallow filling, you will first need to put your mixing bowl and wire whisk in the freezer for about 15 minutes to allow them to chill. Then, in your cold bowl, beat together your cold cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Fold in your marshmallows and then smooth the filling over your prepared graham cracker base before covering it and allowing it to set in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. You can even leave it in there overnight!
When you're ready to serve your Cherry Squares, get them out of the fridge, use a sharp knife to cut them into squares and then top with a dollop of cherry pie filling and remaining graham cracker crumbs. Enjoy!
