What’s in a Million Dollar pie?
This pie is made with the simplest of ingredients. You may already have most of the ingredients in your pantry. You can purchase a graham cracker pie shell, or you can make one from scratch, it’s up to you.
- sweetened condensed milk

- canned crushed pineapple

- graham cracker pie shell
You must prepare this pie a few hours before serving!
One of the most important steps in making this pie is to drain the pineapple, save the juice, and enjoy a Windjammer Freeze.
When you mix this pie together it will be a bit soft. Do not worry, this pie thickens and sets up to texture that is similar to a custard pie.
It will take a couple of hours before this transformation happens. You can make this pie the night before for the best results.

This cool and refreshing pie is perfect for a hot day. This pie is perfectly sweet, and still well balanced with the addition of lemon juice. The texture is divine, it is creamy and light.
