Instructions
Pasta
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain and rinse in cold water until completely cooled. Place in a very large bowl and let cook while preparing the rest of the recipe.
Pineapple Custard
- In a medium heavy saucepan, combine the white sugar, flour and salt. Gradually stir in pineapple juice.
- Beat the egg and egg yolks together in a small measuring cup and set aside.
- Bring to a low rolling boil, stirring constantly.
- Temper the eggs by stirring a small amount of hot mixture into eggs until combined. Whisk the eggs into the hot pineapple mixture in the pot.
- Bring back up to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Gently stir in lemon juice. Place the butter on top and let it melt then stir it into the custard.
- Transfer to a large bowl and cool to room temperature. Cover the surface of dressing with plastic wrap or waxed paper and then refrigerate until cooled.
Combining the Salad
- Break up the pasta if needed by fuffing with a fork then add in the oranges, pineapple, marshmallows, coconut and pineapple custard.
- Fold in the whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate until chilled through. If desired, garnish with maraschino cherries.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the pineapple really well, or the salad can get watery
- Feel free to add in maraschino cherries, not only to top, but in the salad if you want the cherry flavor
