This gorgeous retro No Bake Millionaire Pie is a classic! The perfect standout pink dessert, it would be perfect to serve at a girl baby shower or summer birthday party and will have guests 'ooh-ing' and 'ahh-ing'! So full of flavors and textures, reminiscent of a pina colada and the best part is it comes together in minutes, yet looks super impressive.
No Bake Million Dollar Pie
Serves- 8
Prep time- 5 minutes
Chill time- 3 hours
Pineapple, cherry, coconut and pecans come together in one delicious filling that sets up in a creamy base on top of a graham cracker crust. This pie will be your new go to. It is perfect for summer or for any occasion and is so quick to make too, with a prep time of only 5 mins (allow 3 hours to chill before serving!)
You will need
• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• ⅓ cup sugar
• 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
• 20 ounce can crushed pineapple, well drained
• 1 cup maraschino cherries drained & chopped
• ½ cup chopped pecans
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
• 5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon maraschino cherry juice
• 1 ½ cups whipped topping
• Squirty cream to decorate (optional)
To begin, in a medium bowl or similar, combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter and sugar together.
Press the graham mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch pie plate.
Refrigerate the crust while you work on the filling.
In a large bowl combine the coconut, pineapple, chopped cherries, pecans, condensed milk, lemon juice and cherry juice - if you can, leave a few chopped pecans and a maraschino cherry for topping afterwards!
Stir to combine.
Next, gently fold in the whipped cream.
Pour your pie mixture into the crust. Set in the refrigerator for 3 hours to chill.
Before serving, sprinkle with the leftover chopped pecans and top with cream (optional) and a cherry. Slice and serve!
Tips and Tricks - Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3 days.
You can use any nut you prefer - walnuts would work so well here!
One important tip is to use freshly squeezed lemon juice, not the stuff in a bottle or else the cake will not set up as it should.
With all the flavours of a pina colada on a warm day, this is so great for your special summer occasions.
We hope you enjoy!

3. Cherry pie bites
These Air Fryer Cherry Pie Bites are a quick and delicious way to enjoy the classic flavors of cherry pie in a bite-sized treat. Made with flaky biscuits and sweet cherry filling, they cook up golden and crispy in minutes.
You will need only a handful of ingredients - Grands Biscuit dough or similar (to us in UK these are like flaky scones - we may need to make the dough from scratch first) cherry pie filling, powdered sugar and milk. Our recipe serves 16, takes around 15 mins to make and about 10 minutes to bake.
You will need
• 8 Grands biscuits flaky layers, separated in half
• 1 - 1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tsp milk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Small bowl and spoon
• Air fryer
• 8 Grands biscuits flaky layers, separated in half
• 1 - 1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tsp milk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Small bowl and spoon
• Air fryer
Start by separating the biscuits in half, then roll each half out to make it flat.
Add a small spoonful of filling (about 3 cherries with a little of the glaze) into the center of each.
Then pull the edges up and pinch together to somewhat form a ball shape.
Grease the air fryer basket and place the cherry pie bites spaced apart in the basket, seam side up. I was able to make 8 at a time.
Air fry at 350 for 5 minutes, then flip the cherry pie bites over and air fry for another 5 minutes. Then remove the cherry pie bites from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly.
Mix the powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze.
It's ready when it has a smooth consistency.
Then use a spoon to drizzle over the cherry pie bites.
You could alternatively use some pink cherry glace icing to top or cover them, like mini cream puffs or profiteroles. These make perfect afternoon tea party bites!
