Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the low-fat cream cheese, Equal packets, cocoa, almond flavoring, vanilla, and lite Cool Whip until smooth.
- Fold in the drained crushed pineapple.
- Pour the mixture into a graham cracker crust.
- Chill in the refrigerator until set and ready to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, let the low-fat cream cheese sit at room temperature before mixing. If you prefer a sweeter taste, feel free to adjust the number of Equal packets. You can substitute the crushed pineapple with other fruits like strawberries or blueberries for a twist. Additionally, if you don’t have a graham cracker crust, consider using a pre-made pie crust or even a cookie crust for a different flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Diet Millionaire Pie chilled, garnished with additional lite Cool Whip or fresh fruit on top for a pop of color. It pairs beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee, making it a delightful end to a meal. For a special touch, consider serving it alongside Zippy Jalapeno Dip for a savory contrast to the sweet pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This pie is best enjoyed cold, so there's no need to reheat it. Just scoop out the desired portion and serve directly from the fridge for a refreshing dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the low-fat cream cheese with a dairy-free cream cheese alternative. Additionally, ensure that the Cool Whip is dairy-free as well. This will allow you to enjoy a similar texture and flavor while keeping the recipe vegan-friendly.
How long does it take for the pie to set?
The pie typically needs about 2-4 hours in the refrigerator to set properly. If you're short on time, you can also place it in the freezer for about an hour to speed up the setting process, but be sure to check frequently to prevent it from freezing solid.
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Absolutely! Fresh pineapple can be used in place of canned. Just make sure to finely chop it and drain any excess juice to prevent the pie from becoming too watery. Fresh pineapple will give a vibrant flavor and a lovely texture.
