  1. Just before serving, top with extra whipped topping, cherries, and a sprinkle of graham crumbs or pecans.

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.

Storing:

  • Refrigerate: Store leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

Reheating:

  • This pie is best served cold—no reheating needed.
  1. Can I use fresh fruit instead of canned or jarred?
    Yes, fresh pineapple and cherries work great—just make sure they’re chopped small and well-drained.
