The Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make Easy Millionaire Pie Recipe (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the easy to print recipe card):

  • Prepared graham cracker crust – use any prepared graham cracker pie crust you like, or you can make your own from scratch.
  • Sweetened flaked coconut – this ingredient does add stability to the pie filling, but you can leave it out if desired.
  • Canned crushed pineapple – drain the pineapple very well. I poured it into a strainer and let it drain for a few minutes, then pressed down to push out even more liquid.
  • Maraschino cherries – reserve some of the juice to add to the pie filling.
  • Pecans – to save time, buy already chopped pecans.
  • Sweetened condensed milk – Eagle Brand is always the best, but we used a generic brand and it worked out just fine.
  • Lemon juice – fresh lemon juice or from a bottle works well.
  • Whipped topping – be sure to measure the whipped topping/Cool Whip according to the recipe instead of adding the whole container. We learned this the hard way!

Can I Skip the Lemon Juice?

The lemon juice might seem like an odd ingredient and you might be tempted to leave it out. However, it actually plays a role in helping the pie filling to set up, so be sure you don’t skip the lemon juice. You can use fresh lemon juice or bottled.
