Tips & Variations
Make It Extra Creamy: Swap Cool Whip for homemade whipped cream for a richer texture.
Add a Crunch: Sprinkle extra chopped pecans or toasted coconut on top before serving.
More Citrus Flavor: Add a little lime or orange zest for a bright, citrusy twist.
Berry Twist: Replace the pineapple with drained mandarin oranges or chopped strawberries.
Chocolate Lovers: Drizzle melted chocolate over the top before serving.
Individual Servings: Instead of a pie, spoon the mixture into small cups for single-serve treats.
How to Store
Refrigerator: Keep the pie covered and refrigerated for up to 4 days. The flavors get even better as it sits!
Freezer: Want to make it ahead? Freeze the pie for up to 3 months. Just let it thaw in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
FAQs
1. Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes! Just finely chop it and make sure to drain any excess juice to avoid a watery filling.
2. Can I use a different crust?
Absolutely! A vanilla wafer or shortbread crust works great, or you can even try a chocolate crust for a fun twist.

3. Is this pie overly sweet?
It’s definitely sweet, but the lemon juice helps balance it. If you prefer it less sweet, try using unsweetened coconut or reducing the Cool Whip slightly.
4. Can I make this dairy-free?
You can try using coconut condensed milk and a non-dairy whipped topping for a dairy-free version!
5. How long does it take to set?
At least 2 hours, but overnight is even better for the best texture.
This pie is a family favorite for a reason—it’s simple, delicious, and always a hit at gatherings. Whether you’re making it for a summer barbecue, holiday dinner, or just because, Granny’s Million Dollar Pie never disappoints!
