You can make this rich and creamy Million Dollar Pie without turning on your oven. It features a buttery graham cracker crust filled with a sweet, tangy mixture of cream cheese, pineapple, and crunchy pecans. This is a simple crowd pleaser dessert perfect for summer gatherings.

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
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans, plus extra for topping
  • 1 cup frozen whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

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 it is smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
  3. Add flavorings: Mix in the well-drained crushed pineapple and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping and the 1/4 cup of chopped pecans until no streaks remain.
  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. Chilling time is important for this no bake dessert.
  7. Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the top generously with extra chopped pecans. Slice and enjoy this ultimate dessert recipe.

Notes

  • Make sure your crushed pineapple is very well drained. Excess liquid will prevent your pie from setting properly.
  • For an extra rich flavor, you can toast the graham cracker crumbs lightly before mixing them with the butter.
  • If you prefer a Southern Desserts variation, substitute 1/2 cup of the pineapple with 1/2 cup of shredded, sweetened coconut.
