No-bake, no fuss… Millionaire Pie is simple to make and the best part is that it tastes delicious! There’s a very good reason this is one of the top recipes of all time on my blog!
We’ve served ambrosia salad at every holiday meal for as long as I can remember. It’s such a great side and as a kid I always felt like I was having dessert with my dinner. This pie has a similar flavor so if you like ambrosia salad, you’ll love this pie (plus pretty much anything with sweetened condensed milk has to be amazing right?!)!
This pie starts out with a base of sweetened condensed milk mixed with lemon juice (which causes it to thicken). Once thickened, all of the yummy add-ins are mixed in including cherries, pineapple, coconut, and pecans. It’s all poured into a graham crust and put in the fridge to set.
That’s it, no baking, no stove… just easy-peasy stir and pour!
You’ll want to make sure you squeeze out your pineapple as much as you can just to make sure your pie sets up well. If you don’t have a store-bought graham crust, of course, this works with a homemade graham cracker crust.
Note: If you do adapt this recipe to your tastes, do not leave out the lemon juice. The addition of lemon juice thickens the pie and if you skip it your pie will be runny.

Any pie made quick and no bake for diabetic????
As I don’t observe a diabetic diet I am not sure which dessert would work for you Gretchen, sorry! But you can take a look at our dessert section and see if anything stands out to you.
Love recipes!!!!
I love your millionaire pie recipe and have made it a couple of times. First time I made it, Instead of the graham cracker crust, I made a pretzel crust in a 13×9″ pan and doubled the recipe. It was a hit!
Next time I made this recipe, I used a regular graham cracker crust pie shell. Again, the pie flew but the reviews were that the pie was better with the pretzel crust.
Love the idea of a 9×13 pan in a pretzel crust! Thanks for sharing.
Looks good
My. Friend shared a few with me. I love 5 minute recipes. Also, enjoy fewer ingredients.

This was delicious!!!
Looks great
I made this last summer, so delicious. Instead of using a pie shell, I used ramekins.
Looks yummy
Not a review as I have yet to try this yummy sounding recipe. I am allergic to coconut. Can I just leave it out or is there a substitute I can use? Thanks!
I’ve only tried this as written but you could leave the coconut out and replace a portion of it with extra nuts (or even slivered almonds). Other readers have replaced coconut with mini marshmallows.
I’ve made this several times and I always leave out the coconut and I don’t substitute and it always comes out perfect.
Does anyone know how long this pie is good for in the fridge?
Hi Tina, this pie should last in the fridge about 3-4 days. Enjoy!
Looks yummy
Your recipes look so delicious I can’t wait to try them.
What if your allergic to citrus. Is there any thing else you can use asa thickening agent.
Hi Michelle, we have only made this recipe as listed but another reader with a similar allergy recommended subbing in white vinegar. I am not sure how it will turn out, but I would love to hear if you try it out!
Could you use lime juice instead of lemon juice?
I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure. The lemon juice reacts with the sweetened condensed milk which is what really sets the pie and I worry that changing it out may not work.
You could use lime juice for sure and it will achieve the same results as the lemon juice in terms of helping to set the pie. I have an icebox cake recipe that uses lime juice and condensed milk and it sets up beautifully every time.
Delicious looking recipes
