Description
Million Dollar Pie is a no-bake vintage dessert filled with creamy, tangy sweetness and tropical flavors. With crushed pineapple, coconut, and whipped topping in a buttery graham crust, it’s a nostalgic treat that’s incredibly easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 graham cracker pie crust (9-inch, store-bought or homemade)
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, well-drained
- 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- Maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and shredded coconut.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the top evenly.
- Garnish with extra whipped topping, chopped pecans, and maraschino cherries if desired.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm, before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure pineapple is well-drained to avoid a runny filling.
- Fresh whipped cream can be used instead of whipped topping for a more natural taste—just whip to stiff peaks.
- Letting the pie chill overnight helps the flavors meld and improves the texture.
- Skip nuts for a nut-free version or swap pecans with toasted almonds for variety.
