Millionaire Pie Ingredients

Millionaire pie is a decadent and tantalizing treat that you won’t want to miss out on!

To make this over-the-top pie, you’ll need:

- 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1½ cups of Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed (divided into 1 cup and ½ cup)
- 1 (9-inch) premade graham cracker crust
- 2 tablespoons of toasted coconut flakes (optional topping)
Substitutions And Additions
COCONUT: In this classic no-bake recipe, you can substitute sweetened coconut flakes for the toasted flakes for the optional garnish.

How To Make This Millionaire Pie Recipe
It’s super simple to make this delicious pie. Since it does require about 7 hours of chill time, we recommend making it the day before, so it is ready when you want to serve it.
You’ll mix together all the pie-filling ingredients in the order listed below. Once combined, the creamy mixture is spread into the premade pie crust and chilled in the fridge.
Garnish with dollops of whipped cream, cherries, extra coconut, and pecans, and enjoy!
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
To make sure that as much liquid is out of the crushed pineapple, I place the drained pineapple on a thick layer of paper towels. Then lay a thick layer on top of the pineapple. Press down to “squeeze” the remaining liquid out. It’s important to remove the excess, or your pie will not set at all.
STEP ONE: Add the coconut flakes, ¾ cup pecans, well-drained crushed pineapple, chopped cherries, and sweetened condensed milk to a large bowl.
Stir to combine completely.
PRO TIP:
I also use the paper towel process for the chopped cherries to remove as much of the cherry juice as possible.

STEP TWO: Gently fold in the one cup of thawed whipped topping.

STEP THREE: Evenly spread the pie filling into the prepared graham cracker pie crust.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for seven hours. One hour before serving, move the pie to the freezer for sharp, clean slices.
PRO TIP:
Give this no-bake millionaire pie plenty of time to chill in the fridge, so the filling has time to set before serving.

STEP FOUR: Add ½ cup of the thawed whipped topping to either a disposable piping bag or a quart-size Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off.
Pipe dollops in the center and one dollop at the edge of each pie slice.
STEP FIVE: Place the reserved maraschino cherries with stems on top of the whipped topping dollops, sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes, and reserved chopped pecans before serving.
