🥧 Millionaire Pie (aka Million Dollar Pie)
A sweet, creamy, no-bake dessert packed with pineapple, coconut, and nuts — light, fluffy, and indulgent.

3️⃣ Fold in Whipped Topping

- Chill at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
5️⃣ Serve

💡 Tips
- Make sure pineapple is well-drained to avoid a runny pie.
- For added flavor, add a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of almond extract.
- This pie keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days.
If you want, I can also give you a baked version or a tropical fruit twist with mandarin oranges and macadamia nuts.
