Description

Millionaire Pie is a chilled, no-bake dessert that’s fluffy, fruity, and indulgent without being heavy. With a creamy filling of pineapple, cherries, and pecans inside a graham cracker crust, it’s perfect for hot days, potlucks, and nostalgic cravings.

Ingredients

1 graham cracker crust (9-inch, prepared or homemade)

1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed

1 cup chopped pecans, plus more for topping

1 cup maraschino cherries, drained and chopped

Whipped cream, for garnish

Maraschino cherries, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine crushed pineapple with its juice, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped topping.

2. Gently fold in the chopped maraschino cherries and chopped pecans until well blended.

3. Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the top.

4. Sprinkle additional chopped pecans over the surface for texture.

5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set and firm.

6. Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry on top of each slice.

7. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

Do not overmix the filling—fold gently to maintain the fluffy texture.

For extra crunch, top with freshly chopped pecans just before serving.

Avoid freezing the pie; it alters the mousse-like consistency.
