Can you freeze millionaire pie

The prep time for this recipe is just 10 minutes or less. With chilling, total time is about 4 hours. This is one of the easiest pies you will ever prepare.

Making this pie requires no cooking at all. Let's start making it! First mix up the filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl pineapple, sweetened condensed milk, coconut, lemon juice, pecans and whipped topping. That is all there is to it! Slice and serve. Top each slice with a big dollop of fresh whipped cream if you like. Of course if you prefer making your own homemade graham cracker pie crust, be my guest.

I left easy directions right above the recipe card. If you want to lighten the creamy classic millionaire pie recipe up a little, that can be done in a few easy steps.

First, swap out standard whipped topping for a lighter version. Next, instead of condensed sweetened milk and sweet coconut, use unsweetened and add a zero or reduced calorie sweetener to make up for the difference. Yes, the pie freezes well. It also serves nicely semi-frozen.

Just do no refreeze after it has been thawed. Leave it in the freezer after initial chill. While the red and white look of this Million Dollar pie is already a festive look for the holiday season.

Before serving, add some green jarred cherries along with the red ones for a full on Christmas dessert. Try chopping some up and adding them to the filling too. Mix all three ingredients together and spread out in inch pie pan. Press firmly but gently with a spoon, spatula or measuring cup bottom to smooth surface.

Chill until graham cracker crust is firm. Don't fill until the graham cracker crusts are cool. I also had it in a fridge bag with ice packs while traveling. For me if I want to make ahead, I will defiantly freeze. Thank you for the scrumptious recipe we are hooked. Hi Gerry! I made this for dinner for guests it was such a hit. Very light and delicious the great ending to a great dinner. How soon before serving should I take it out?

Will it sweat? Should I move it from the freezer to the refrigerator now? Thank you Tia? You keep it in the freezer for 4 to 6 hours. Also to cut the pie dip your knife in hot water and then cut it. This looks wonderful! It is in a regular pie crust, with a thin, sweetened cream cheese bottom layer which is topped with whipped cream which has pineapple and pecans folded in.

They are similar but not the same. Your version sounds heavenly! Thanks Jody! Very interesting! I think the pastry crust sounds like a delicious way to go and the cream cheese layer sounds divine!. This looks soooo heavenly! Rating: 4 stars. 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. 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 also add about a cup of mini-chocolate chips in mine. This is very good and I would definitely make it again. Store bought just does not even compare! Lisa Ritter. I love this recipe. My aunt used to make it at Christmas and add chopped up marachino cherries and chopped pecans.

In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla and stop whipping when peaks are stiff. In a second bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft; beat in the condensed milk. Stir in the pineapple, then fold in the sweetened whipped cream and pecans or leave out the pecans and sprinkle them on top only. Divide the filling between two shallow 8 or 9 inch pie crusts or put as much filling as you can into the deep dish crust — most of it should fit if you're using a deep dish 9 inch or 10 inch pie plate.

If the filling is runny, just fit as much in as you can. It will firm up in the freezer. Put the pie in the freezer and freeze for several hours or until it is firm enough to cut neatly. Shortly before serving, remove the pie from the freezer, cut and plate. Let the cut pieces come to room temperature before serving.
