How To Make Millionaire Pie
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a large bowl.
- Next, add the cream cheese and mix well.
- Add the shredded coconut, crushed pineapple, cherries, chopped pecans, and lemon juice, and mix well.
- Fold in the whipped topping and pour into the pie shell.
- Refrigerate for at least two hours and serve.
- Top with a dollop of whipped topping, if desired.
Step-By-Step Instructions

Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a large mixing bowl.
I used Eagle Brand for this sweet treat, but you can use your favorite brand, including generic.

Next, add the cream cheese and beat with a hand mixer until the two ingredients are combined, and there are no more lumps.

Drain the pineapple juice and add the crushed pineapple to the bowl.

Add the shredded coconut.

Slice the cherries in half and add to the bowl.

Add the chopped pecans.

Pour the lemon juice into the bowl and mix the ingredients.

Fold in the whipped topping.
For this easy recipe, I used Cool Whip, but you can also make your own and add it.

Pour the pie into the graham cracker crust and refrigerate for at least two hours.
For the crust, you can choose to make a homemade graham cracker crust or buy a prepared graham cracker pie crust.
If your graham cracker crust is a little crumbly, it will soften up after you add the pie.
It’s a wonderful icebox pie that really brings joy in every bite and is a dream come true for anyone that isn’t up for baking on a hot day.

Can I Make A Homemade Crust?
Yes, you can make your own graham cracker crust with graham crackers and melted butter. You will need a 9-inch pie plate.
Optional Ingredients
- Mandarin oranges
- Slices of oranges
- Coconut flakes instead of shredded
- Pineapple chunks
- Walnuts

My family doesn’t care for cherries. Can I make this without or substitute something else? It sounds really good!

You can definitely make it without cherries. You can add other things or take some things out, that’s the great thing about this pie. It’s very versatile. Enjoy!
