Introduction

Millionaire Pie is a delightful no-bake dessert that’s ready in just minutes. With a creamy, fruity filling and a crunchy graham cracker crust, it’s a perfect treat for any occasion that requires minimal effort but maximum flavor.

A slice of pie with three visible layers sits on a white plate over a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is a light brown crumbly crust that holds the filling. The second layer is thick and creamy with white and soft pink mixed textures, containing small pieces of red cherries and bits of light fruit. The top layer has a dollop of fluffy white whipped cream with a bright red cherry on top and a long stem. The background shows another soft creamy pie with white whipped cream and red cherries blurred. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 graham cracker crust
1 cup sweetened coconut flakes

15.25 ounces crushed pineapple, well drained (1 can)
1 cup maraschino cherries, drained and chopped

½ cup chopped pecans
1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)

5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon maraschino cherry juice
1 ½ cups whipped topping (plus extra for garnish if desired)

Instructions

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.
Step 2: Carefully fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
Step 3: If desired, top the pie with extra whipped topping and whole maraschino cherries for garnish. Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours or overnight to set before serving.

Tips & Variations

For added texture, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the filling.
Use fresh pineapple chunks if canned is unavailable; be sure to drain excess juice well.
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.

How to Serve

A slice of creamy pie sits on a white plate with a slightly raised edge, placed on a white marbled surface. The pie has three visible layers: the bottom is a light brown crumbly crust; the middle is thick and pale pink with small chunks of red fruit and some texture from nuts or coconut mixed in; the top layer is white whipped cream, swirled with soft peaks and crowned by a shiny bright red cherry with a long stem. In the background, there is a blurry view of more pie topped with whipped cream and cherries. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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.
