Make this rich and creamy Million Dollar Pie without turning on the oven. This recipe uses a graham cracker crust, cream cheese, condensed milk, pineapple, and pecans for a classic Southern dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, well drained
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, plus extra for topping
  • 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed (like Cool Whip)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add flavor and fruit: Mix in the well-drained crushed pineapple, vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Assemble the pie: Spoon the filling evenly into the chilled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  7. Serve: Before serving this easy dessert idea, sprinkle the top with extra chopped pecans. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • Make sure the crushed pineapple is very well drained to prevent a watery filling. Press it between paper towels to remove excess liquid.
  • This is a great make ahead dessert; it holds up well in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • For a richer flavor, toast the graham cracker crumbs lightly before mixing them with the butter.
