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.
Ingredients
- 1 graham cracker crust
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
- 15.25 ounces crushed pineapple well drained, 1 can
- 1 cup maraschino cherries drained & chopped
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
- 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon maraschino cherry juice
- 1 ½ cups whipped topping plus extra for garnish if desired
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine coconut, crushed pineapple, maraschino cherries, pecans, (Eagle Brand) Sweetened Condensed Milk, lemon juice and maraschino cherry juice.
- Gently fold in whipped topping. Pour into crust.
- Top with additional whipped topping and cherries if desired. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.

Is all this recipes available in a paper back book and if so $$$&
Hi Benita, we don’t have these recipes available in a paperback book but you can definitely print these out and add them to your cookbook.
I did this wrong after looking at other recipes. I used “whipped topping” in the fan instead of cool whip. I just wasted my time! You should changed “whipped topping” to “cool whip” like all the other recipes!
Sorry this didn’t work out for you. Cool Whip is a brand of whipped topping.
Can you use whipping cream instead of whipped topping?
I haven’t made this with whipping cream to so I’m not sure how it would set up. I would suggest whipped topping in this recipe.
I would prefer trying whipping cream as Cool Whip really isn’t suppose to be good for you. Probably whipping cream isn’t either. Guess it’s a toss between two evils!
Love the recipes. Please send!!
Thank you Mindy!
Can coconut flavoring be used instead of the coconut flakes. If so how much flavoring would I need?
The coconut itself adds texture to the recipe. If you leave it out, you might like to add extra nuts. I haven’t tried adding coconut extract, if you do add it, I would add a small amount and taste it as extracts can be strong.
All looks so yummy and simple
If you get a chance to try it I hope you love it!
Reviewed look delicious!

I can’t find whipped topping in London, UK…Can whipped cream be substituted?
Hi Paula, whipped topping is an edible oil product similar to whipped cream but comes frozen in a tub. If you can’t find that you could try whipped cream. I haven’t tried it that way so if you do, please let us know how it works for you! :)
One of the best no bake pies out there!! Creamy…sweet….goodness!!
So glad you think so Susan! Enjoy!

Thank you for Sharing,

That sounds delicious Lolli! Glad it was hit!
Hello from Thailand,
Your recipe looks delicious. I will be making this as there is no baking necessary. As I don’t have an oven However, I don’t like dried coconuts. So may I leave it out. If so, what would you suggest I replace it with? And I would love to use peaches (can you suggest fresh or can) in stead of pineapples. Maybe it’s because we have a large abundance amount of fresh coconuts and pineapples that we are tired of eating it. I’ll let you know it all turns out as soon as you can reply me with the suggestions I would like from you.
Have a nice day
Hi Toni!
You can leave the coconut out if you wish. I have never tried adding peaches to this, but it sounds like a tasty idea! If you try it please let me know how it turned out!
You can just leave it out, and not replace it.
Made this tonight for Church group tomorrow it looks and smells Delish..Thanks for sharing! :-)
Thanks for sharing it with everyone Becca! Glad they liked it!
I want to make your Ambrosia million dollar pie, but i’m Not sure about the
Whipped topping. Are you saying, buy heavy whipped milk to whip make whip cream or use cool whip. I want to go to th e store & get the ingredients. I think you want the real cream you whip yourself!
Thank you, Linda Crane.
Hi Linda, I use Cool Whip in this recipe.
Hello Holly , I was wondering if you can use COOL WHIP instead of whipping topping . Or did you mean COOL WHIP ?
THANKS Deloris
Yes, Cool Whip Deloris!
Can this be made without the coconut? And if so, would there need to be any adjustments in the recipe?
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 haven’t tried it though.
