Very easy and pretty tasty. Could use a little something zippy in the mix, but I'm not sure what. A lady at work makes hers with crushed mandarin oranges but I didn't want to stray from the original recipe yet. I do like that I get 2 pies from the recipe. I threw one in the freezer and took it to a New Year's lunch two weeks after I made them and it tasted great!

Great recipe..I combined the two Millionaire pie recipes to get something closer to what the local bakery sells under this name. Meaning I added 1/4C lemon juice blended in in step one and 1/2C chopped maraschino cherries added with pineapple. It was good, but next time I will leave out the cool whip--it iz only to make it creamier and it seemed to really tone down the flavor which was awesome before I added that. And, I admit, I've never been much of a cool whip person anyway! Will save calories, as if that matters at that point LOL, by cutting it altogether--will make for a firmer end product too.

Instead of a 20 ounce can of pineapple, I add an 8 ounce can of crushed pineapple, small can of mandarin oranges, and small can of sliced peaches, chopped. Drain all before adding.

Yummie. When I tasted this before pouring it into the shells it tasted too sweet to me. I found another nearly identical recipe for this pie that called for 3 T of lemon juice. That addition made it PERFECT. Also, don't just drain - strain your pineapple a bit. Those that complained about this not setting up likely got pineapple juice into the pie.

I made this one Christmas Eve and my family now asks for it every time. It is a light dessert - perfect for balancing out all those heavy holiday dishes. My only suggestions are to make sure you don't over-mix the whip cream and, if you are making this for a party, try using individual-sized graham cracker crusts (sold in pckgs of 6 at WalMart). Doing so keeps the presentation looking so much better. This is definitely a keeper!

Sharing this receipe is as neat as sharing the pie! This is simple and delicious. I did have one batch that was running. Can't figure out why. I've been making this version of Millionaire Pie since 1998. I add one small can of mandarin oranges use walnuts instead of pecans.
