Millionaire Pie 🥧🍒🍍
Millionaire Pie is a no-bake, creamy dessert pie that’s sweet, fruity, and fluffy. Despite the fancy name, it’s very simple to make and is often served chilled at holidays, potlucks, and family gatherings.
🧂 Main ingredients
- Graham cracker crust (or digestive biscuit crust)
- Whipped topping (like whipped cream or Cool Whip-style cream)
- Cream cheese or sweetened condensed milk
- Crushed pineapple (drained)
- Maraschino cherries (chopped)
- Shredded coconut (optional but traditional)
- Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Lemon juice (for slight tang)
🍳 How to make it
1. Prepare filling

2. Add fruit & mix-ins

3. Assemble pie

đź’ˇ Tip
Make sure pineapple is well-drained—too much liquid can make the pie runny.
