This easy Millionaire Pie recipe is packed with coconut, pecans, pineapple, maraschino cherries, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped topping, all poured into a premade pie crust and set in the fridge to chill.
It is so simple to make in minutes and in one single bowl. No baking and no cooking are needed!
No Bake Millionaire Pie
Our recipe for Millionaire Pie couldn’t be any easier to prepare because it’s made using 6 simple ingredients that you simply stir and pour into a store-bought crust.
The tropical-flavored pie filling is fruity, cool, and creamy with the perfect amount of pecan crunch; it’s truly a no-fuss family favorite dessert that looks and tastes like a million dollars (some think the pineapple chunks resemble gold nuggets)!
While some millionaire pie recipes require cream cheese that creates a cheesecake-type filling, I think these no bake pies with sweetened condensed milk make it a more traditional millionaire pie.
This easy millionaire pie is similar to an ambrosia salad, with its rich and refreshing base, but instead of being served as a side dish, it’s spread in a crust and sliced for dessert.
