Millionaire Pie

List of Ingredients

1 -8 oz. package cream cheese -- softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 - 8 oz. can crushed pineapple -- undrained
1 cup grated coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
1 - 8 oz. carton Cool Whip -- thawed (OR 2 cups whipping cream, whipped and sweetened with 3 tablespoons of sugar)
prepared 9-inch pie shell OR large graham cracker crust


Recipe

Cream together the softened cream cheese and the sugar with an electric mixer, letting the mixer run for 3 or 4 minutes on high speed.

Stir into the cream cheese mixture the crushed pineapple, coconut, and pecans, and mix well.

Carefully fold in Cool Whip until filling is blended well.

Pour filling into a prepared crust, and chill for several hours.


NOTES : I use light cream cheese and light Cool Whip.

If desired, you can only fold in 1/2 of the Cool Whip and use the other 1/2 to garnish the pie.
