Ingredients

  • 1 graham cracker crust
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
  • 15.25 ounces crushed pineapple, well drained (1 can)

  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon maraschino cherry juice

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the sweetened coconut flakes, well-drained crushed pineapple, chopped maraschino cherries, chopped pecans, sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and maraschino cherry juice. Mix gently to blend all the ingredients evenly.
  2. Step 2: Carefully fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.

Tips & Variations

  • Substitute whipped topping with freshly whipped cream for a richer taste.
  • Add a handful of mini marshmallows for extra sweetness and chewiness.

Storage

Store leftover Millionaire Pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it chilled to maintain the creamy texture. When ready to serve again, no reheating is necessary—just slice and enjoy cold.

FAQs

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Yes, it’s best to prepare the pie a few hours or even the night before so it has enough time to set properly and the flavors can meld.

Can I use a different type of crust?

Absolutely. While a graham cracker crust is traditional, you can use a pre-made cookie crust or even a nut-based crust to add your own twist.
