How to Make Millionaire Pie

Preparation

Start by draining the crushed pineapple and chopping the pecans. You’ll also need to have your graham cracker crusts ready. Remember, the recipe makes two pies, so make sure you have enough crusts.

Step 1 – Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix together the drained pineapple, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and chopped pecans. Once these ingredients are well-combine, fold in the whipped dairy topping. This will give your pie filling a rich, creamy texture with a lovely crunch.

Step 2 – Fill the Pie Crusts

Pour the pie filling evenly into your two prepared graham cracker crusts. This will ensure that each pie has an equal amount of the delicious filling. Sprinkle with additional nuts.

Step 3 – Chill the Pies

Place your pies in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least four hours before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together, giving you the perfect no-bake millionaire pies.

Expert Tip

When making this pie, I suggest whipping together all the pie filling ingredients except for the whipped topping. Fold in the whipped topping until it’s all incorporated. Immediately pour into the graham cracker crusts and let chill for at least four hours.

Recipe Variations

• Chopped Coconut: If you’re a fan of coconut, try adding a half cup of chopped coconut to the pie filling. It’ll give your pie a tropical twist.
• Nut Free: For a nut-free version, simply leave out the pecans. You can replace them with an equal amount of chopped maraschino cherries for a pop of color and flavor.
• Lemon Zest: Add a touch of extra lemony flavor by stirring in a tablespoon of lemon zest into the pie filling. It’ll brighten up the flavors and make your pie even more refreshing.
• Homemade Pie Crust: You can also make your own homemade graham cracker crust or use a shortbread crust instead. Change it up to add a little variation to your no-bake million dollar pie!

What to Serve With

• For a morning treat, pair a slice of this millionaire pie with a cup of hot coffee. The creamy, sweet pie is a perfect complement to the bold, bitter coffee.
• If you’re a fan of classic dessert pairings, serve this pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cool, creamy ice cream enhances the rich, sweet flavors of the pie.
• For a decadently indulgent treat, drizzle a bit of chocolate sauce over your slice of millionaire pie. The chocolatey sweetness pairs wonderfully with the tropical flavors of the pie.
