Ingredients You'll Need

The filling starts with 10 ounces of Cool Whip, 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, and 1/4 cup of lemon juice. These three ingredients are folded together first to create the smooth base for this Million Dollar Pie.

Next come the drained crushed pineapple, 1 cup of chopped pecans, and 1/2 cup of chopped maraschino cherries. Fold them into the base until they are evenly incorporated, then divide the finished filling between two graham cracker crusts.

How To Make It

This dessert does not need baking or stovetop cooking. The key steps are gentle folding, evenly dividing the filling between the crusts, freezing until set, and allowing the pies to soften slightly before slicing.

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, add the Cool Whip, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice. Gently fold the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Add the drained crushed pineapple, chopped pecans, and chopped maraschino cherries. Fold everything together until the remaining ingredients are evenly incorporated throughout the filling.

Divide the filling evenly between the two graham cracker crusts. Smooth the tops of both pies after filling the crusts.

Finishing

Place both pies in the freezer and let them freeze until completely set. The filling needs to be fully set before the pies are removed for serving.

Pro tip: take the pies out of the freezer about 30 minutes before serving so they can soften slightly. Then slice each pie, serve, and enjoy.

Serving & Variations

Serve this creamy no-bake dessert after the pies have softened slightly from their freezer time. Each graham cracker crust is filled separately, so both pies can be sliced for serving.

The finished filling includes pineapple, pecans, and maraschino cherries in every pie. For the cleanest path through the recipe, keep the folding gentle as directed and smooth the tops after dividing the filling between the crusts.

Wrapping Up

Million Dollar Pie is a freezer-set dessert that brings together a smooth Cool Whip, condensed milk, and lemon juice filling with fruit, pecans, and cherries. Once the pies have softened slightly after freezing, they are ready to slice and serve. Recipe created by Cookinwithbabe for Trust Me Try It.
