Millionaire Pie is a luscious, no-bake dessert featuring a creamy filling made with sweetened condensed milk, lime, pineapple, cherries, coconut, and pecans, all folded into whipped cream and set in a graham cracker crust. Topped with fluffy whipped cream and maraschino cherries, this pie is perfect for a refreshing, tropical-inspired treat that requires minimal effort and refrigeration time.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 graham cracker pie crust

Pie Filling

  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime (about 2 ½ tablespoons)
  • 15 oz can crushed pineapple, well drained
  • 2/3 cup chopped Maraschino cherries
  • 2 tablespoons Maraschino cherry juice
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut flakes
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • Maraschino cherries, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix Cream Cheese and Cream: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a mixer. Add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream along with the coconut and vanilla extracts. Continue mixing until medium to stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the airy texture.
  2. Prepare Pie Filling: In a separate large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk with the lime juice and lime zest. Stir well to combine. Add the well-drained crushed pineapple, chopped Maraschino cherries, cherry juice, shredded coconut flakes, and chopped pecans. Gently fold in the whipped cream and cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and creamy.
  3. Assemble Pie: Pour the filling mixture into the graham cracker pie crust. Smooth it out evenly to cover the entire crust in a uniform layer.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for several hours, ideally around 4 hours, to allow it to set properly and develop flavors.
  5. Prepare Topping: Whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with ¼ cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe this whipped cream on top of the chilled pie evenly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Decorate the pie topping with additional Maraschino cherries as desired. Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.

Notes

  • Ensure pineapple is drained very well to prevent the filling from becoming too watery.
  • Do not overmix the whipped cream with the cream cheese to maintain a light texture.
  • The pie requires at least 4 hours of refrigeration to properly set; overnight chilling is best for optimal flavor.
  • Use fresh lime zest and juice for the best tangy flavor.
  • Optional: Add extra crushed pineapple or cherries on top for garnish instead of just cherries.
