Here’s a classic recipe for a no-bake “Millionaire Pie” — a creamy, dreamy dessert that’s sweet, crunchy, and perfect for summer:
No-Bake Millionaire Pie (Cream Pie)
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp sugar
Filling:
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping:
- Whipped topping
- Extra nuts or maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the crust:
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl.
- Press evenly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch pan (or a pie dish).
- Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
- Make the filling:
- Beat cream cheese until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing well.
- Fold in whipped topping, drained pineapple, and nuts (if using).
- Assemble the pie:
- Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust.
- Top with a layer of whipped topping.
- Garnish with extra nuts or cherries if desired.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate at least 2–3 hours, preferably overnight, for the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
- Serve:
- Slice and enjoy this creamy, tropical, nutty delight!
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, add shredded coconut to the filling for a tropical twist.
- Can be made in a 9×13 pan for larger gatherings.
- Keep refrigerated; it’s best served cold.
If you want, I can also give you a mini “Millionaire Pie” version in individual cups — perfect for parties or portion control — that’s just as creamy and indulgent.
