Our easy Millionaire Pie recipe is a creamy no-bake dessert loaded with pineapple, cherries, coconut, and pecans in a graham cracker crust.
No Bake Millionaire Pie is a Retro Classic
No Bake Millionaire Pie is a Retro ClassicEven though Millionaire Pie is an old-fashioned recipe, I hadn't had it until recently. It actually reminds me of an ambrosia salad, in pie form. Every bite hits that perfect combo: tangy pineapple, sweet cherries, and a little pecan crunch tucked into a homemade graham cracker crust. It’s no-bake, make-ahead friendly using pantry staples, so I can just stash it in the fridge, and magically pull it out to serve.

How to make Millionaire Pie:
Whip Cream Cheese and Cream: The cream cheese needs to be at room temperature so that you can mix it until smooth. Then add the cream and extracts. Don't overwhip the cream–you just want medium-stiff peaks.
Make Pie Filling: When you mix condensed milk with lime juice and zest, a chemical reaction occurs that helps thicken and firm up the condensed milk, which will allow the pie to set up, and allows us to cut a slice without it being a sloppy mess.
Add pineapple (be sure to strain it really well so it’s not very wet), cherries, coconut and pecans. Fold in the whipped cream mixture.
Fill Pie Crust: Scoop the cream filling into your graham cracker crust.
Refrigerate for several hours before serving. You can then garnish with extra whipped cream and maraschino cherries, if desired.
