With a preparation time of just 25 minutes and a total time of 25 minutes plus chilling, this recipe is a breeze to whip up. And the best part? It’s incredibly easy to make, requiring only 8 ingredients and a few simple steps.

The Magic Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 package (16 ounce) miniature marshmallows
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped
• 4 cups fresh raspberries
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Assembling the Masterpiece

To begin, combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup for topping, and press the remaining mixture onto the bottom and 1-1/2 inches up the side of a 9-in. springform pan.

Next, combine the marshmallows and milk in a large saucepan, cooking and whisking over medium-low heat until the marshmallows are melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow it to cool before folding in the whipped cream, raspberries, and pecans.

The Finishing Touches

Pour the mixture into the prepared crust, topping it with the remaining crumb mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight, then remove the sides of the pan to reveal your stunning creation.
