| Millionaire Pie |
Wyatt's Cafeteria serves up this wonderful desert.
At least, the one in Fort Worth, Texas does. Unless you want your pie to have a
pastry crust, you won't even have to turn on your oven. |
| Ingredients |
- 8 oz. Package of cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 8 oz. Can of crushed pineapple (do not drain)
- 1 cup Grated coconut
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 8 oz. Carton of whipped topping, thawed (OR 2 cups whipping cream,
whipped and sweetened with 3 tablespoons of sugar (if you, for some reason, have an
aversion to non-dairy)
|
| Cooking
Instructions |
- Cream together the softened cream cheese and the sugar with an electric mixer, letting the mixer
run for 3 or 4 minutes on high speed.
- Stir into the cream cheese mixture the crushed pineapple, coconut and pecans, and mix well.
- Carefully fold in half of the whipped topping until filling is blended well. Reserve remaining half
for top (see below).
- Pile the filling into a prepared crust, and chill for several hours.
- Millionaire Pie can be garnished with a dollop of the reserved whipped topping when served, or you can
spread the remaining half of the topping over the whole pie and garnish with a sprinkling
of chopped pecans. A third alternative is to fold both cups of whipped topping into the
filling; this works quite well and makes for an even lighter texture, but allow more
chilling time before serving if you go this route.
- It's up to you but, whatever you do, I think you'll enjoy this pie in every sense of the word.

Serves
about six. You can cut skinnier slices and stretch it to 8
people, but why do that?! |
