Millionaire pie is an American icebox pie.[1][2] This pie is a dish popular in the Southern United States, Texas, and New Mexico.[1][3] It is made of whipped creamorwhipped topping, crushed pineapple, and chopped pecans with a graham cracker crust, although the ingredients are modifiable.[2][4][5] Some versions include condensed milk, cream cheese, flaked coconut, and/or cherry pie filling or maraschino cherries.[2][6] However, the whipped topping or whipped cream, pineapple, and crust are essential ingredients, although the type of crust (e.g. graham cracker, shortbread) can vary.[1][2][6]

This is a type of icebox pie, which became popular between 1930 and 1950 with the adoption of refrigerators in the United States.[5]

The pie and variations of it are sometimes referred to as billionaire's pie, billion dollar pie, million dollar pie, or Hawaiian million dollar pie.[2][7]

Furr's Cafeteria and Luby's both featured the dessert on their menu.[2][8]
