Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream sugar, oleo, egg, salt, and vanilla together.
- Spoon the mixture into a prepared pie crust.
- Chill the pie until set.
- Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Blend in drained crushed pineapple and chopped nuts.
- Spoon the pineapple mixture on top of the egg mixture in the pie.
- Chill thoroughly before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you want a lighter texture, you can substitute the heavy cream with a whipped topping. Make sure to chill the pie long enough to allow it to set properly; this usually takes at least 4 hours. This dessert can be a perfect end to an American recipes meal, especially in warmer months.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Millionaire Pie chilled, garnished with additional chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra sweetness. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a festive touch, consider serving alongside Carol'S Brie Cheese Wheel for a delightful contrast of flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the best texture, avoid freezing the pie, as the cream may separate upon thawing. If needed, serve chilled directly from the fridge for the best experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Millionaire Pie ahead of time?
Yes, Millionaire Pie is perfect for making ahead. You can prepare it a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Just ensure it's well covered to prevent it from absorbing any odors from the fridge.
What type of pie crust works best for this recipe?
