Mouthwatering Millionaire Pie

Step 1: Make the Graham Cracker Crust

1. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
2. Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
4. Place the crust in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Mix the Creamy Filling

1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
2. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and beat until fully combined and creamy.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract, then fold in the drained pineapple, cherries, shredded coconut, and pecans if using.

Step 3: Fold in the Whipped Topping

1. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the filling is light and airy.
2. Make sure everything is evenly mixed without deflating the whipped topping.

Step 4: Assemble the Pie

1. Spoon the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust.
2. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even finish.

Step 5: Chill to Set

1. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap or foil.
2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 6: Garnish & Serve

1. Just before serving, top with extra whipped topping, cherries, and a sprinkle of graham crumbs or pecans.
2. Slice and serve cold for a refreshing treat.

Tips for Perfect Millionaire Pie

• Drain the Pineapple Thoroughly – Excess liquid can make the filling too runny.
• Dry the Cherries – Patting them dry prevents pink streaks and soggy filling.
• Use Full-Fat Cream Cheese – For a rich, creamy texture.
• Chill Well Before Serving – The longer it chills, the better it sets and flavors develop.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve chilled straight from the fridge for the best texture.
• Pair with a cup of coffee or a glass of iced tea for a refreshing balance.
• Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent twist.
