Millionaire's Pie

Submitted by jonesies

"This luscious, silky pie calls for a baked pie shell, and the flaky contrast with the gooey filling is really good. But if you're running short on time, you can substitute a graham cracker crust to eliminate that step. Do remember to chill the pineapple though. Simply put the can in the refrigerator as soon as you bring it home from the grocery store. Taken from the "From Storebought to Homemade" cookbook. Note: cooking time is refrigeration time."

Delicious. The filling is perfect. Too bad my BF didn't like cause when a dessert contains cream cheese, he doesn't like. My neighbour upstairs was happy to have 2 pieces of it. Thanks Jonesies :)

Delicious pie. I will use the "extra servings" graham cracker pie next time.
