Millionaire Dollar Pie

Submitted By Pamela Ann Gatlin Schulz
Ingredients:

1 graham cracker pie shell
1 (8 oz) pkg softened cream cheese
½ cup sugar
1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple undrained
1 cup coconut (keep back 1 Tbsp)
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip

Preparation: Cream together the cream cheese and
sugar with a hand mixer for 3-4 minutes. Now add in
the pineapple, coconut, and pecans and mix
together very well. Now fold in half of the whipped
topping and mix well together. Pour into the
graham cracker pie shell. Take the other half of the
cool whip and place it on top of the pie. Toast the
Tbsp of reserved coconut to golden brown under
your broiler and sprinkle it on top of your pie for
garnish. Cover the pie and place back in the
freezer. When ready to serve let the pie thaw just
enough to be able to be able to cut your pie. Serve
your pie on saucers or pie plates that you have had
in the freezer for at least 4 hours and it will work
better if they have been in the freezer overnight.
You can, if you wish, garnish the top of your pie
with a maraschino cherry.
