Ok, so I know what you might be thinking, where does the name of this pie come from? Well, it's called a million dollar pie because it tastes like a million bucks.

Seriously. The taste profile is out of this world good. Maybe even better than this Mississippi chocolate pie and no bake Oreo pie.

Anyway, now that you know just how simple and easy to make this simple no bake dessert is, let's dive into the ingredients you'll need for it.

Ingredients

Of course, a super simple recipe must have super simple ingredients. And there's a good chance you probably have most - if not all - of these ingredients at home already.

Anyway, here's what you'll need to make this million dollar pie:

• 1 Graham Crackers Pie Crust
• 1 can Condensed Sweetened Milk
• 1 can (16 or 20 ounces) Crushed Pineapple, drained
• ¼ cup Lemon Juice
• 1 8 oz. can Whipped Cream
• ¼ cup Chopped Pecans
• 1 cup Shredded Coconut
• Maraschino Cherries to garnish

And that's it!

Now, to save time, I like to use premade graham cracker crusts from the store.

But, if you want to make one from scratch, you can follow the directions from my cherry cheesecake recipe. It will show you how to make a homemade graham cracker crust from scratch.

With that said, you can really use any recipe for graham cracker crusts you find.

Ok, now that you know just how fun this million dollar recipe can be, let's dive into making it!

How to Make Million Dollar Pie

As I mentioned, this million dollar pie is a very simple recipe to make. And that's why I think it's one of the best recipe variations for a million dollar pie.

Now, as I mentioned before, it only takes about 15 minutes to prep, but it does have to freeze for 8 hours - or overnight - before serving. So you'll definitely want to make sure you factor that in and possibly make it the night before you want to eat it.

Step 1: Make the pie Filling

First, you'll want to get your graham cracker crust ready. So, if you're planning on using a homemade graham cracker crust, you'll want to make that now.

Next, in a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, drained pineapple, and lemon juice. Then mix all of these ingredients together until they're completely combined.

Now add the whipped cream to the mixture in the large bowl, and leave a bit for the topping. Save around ¼ of the can for the topping. Then, add the crushed pecans and shredded coconut to the same bowl and mix until everything is well combined.

Step 2: Build the Pie

Now that the filling ingredients are mixed, pour the pie filling over the graham cracker pie crust.

Then, put the million dollar pie in the freezer overnight. Freezing the pie will allow the sweetened condensed milk to thicken up and hold the shape of the filling. 

Step 3: Thaw and Serve

Finally, before serving, you'll want to remove the pie from the freezer and let it thaw for about 1 hour.

To add even more deliciousness top this million dollar pie with whipped cream and maraschino cherries. It makes a great addition if you have some reserved pecans and toasted coconut to sprinkle on top as well!

Or you can top it with something like this strawberry compote for an extra fruity flavor.

Now slice, serve, and enjoy! 

How to Store Million Dollar Pie

Ok, so this million dollar pie will make about 8 slices of pie, depending on how you slice it. If you're serving it for a number of people, you probably won't have any leftovers.

But, if you do, you can store the pie in the fridge in an airtight container for about 4 days.

Wrapping It All Up

And there you have it!

That's how to make million dollar pie with easy to find ingredients & only 15 minutes worth of work.
