Make this rich and creamy Million Dollar Pie, an old-fashioned, no-bake dessert featuring a graham cracker crust, sweet cream cheese filling, pineapple, and pecans. It is a quick and refreshing summer treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 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: Mix graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl. Pour in 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 fluffy.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until the mixture is fully combined and creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add fruit and nuts: Gently fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple and the 1/2 cup of chopped pecans.
  5. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Do not overmix; you want the filling to remain light.
  6. Assemble the pie: Spoon the filling evenly into the chilled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Chill: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is firm.
  8. Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the top generously with extra chopped pecans. Slice and enjoy this rich and creamy dessert.

Notes

  • Make sure your crushed pineapple is very well drained; excess liquid will prevent the filling from setting properly.
  • For the easiest slicing, let the pie sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cutting.
  • You can substitute walnuts for pecans if you prefer a different nut flavor.
