YES!!! This deserves 5 stars for sure! It taste exactly like Furr's Millionaire Pie...The only thing I may do different next time is add a little more powdered sugar because my filling was not as firm as it should have been.(could have been that my eggs were too large) This was absolutely FABULOUS!!! Thanks...I will be fixing this for our church's Father's Day dinner for sure!! PS..only used one deep dish pie crust.

I fell in love with this pie when I lived in San Marcos, TX. The biggest thing to remember is to use a butter or margarine stick, and not a spread. Make sure that you cream your butter with the powdered sugar before adding the other ingredients, to insure that you have a thick, creamy filling. You can also cheat if you don't have a lot of time by spreading your pineapple directly onto the filling after it has chilled, and then use Cool Whip to top it off. I have actually gotten better reviews by altering the recipe in this way, than by sticking to the original recipe. Just make sure that your pineapple is strained and patted dry, no matter which version you decide to go with.

My mother in law was talking about this pie one day and I thought I would make one (or two) and surprise her. She was SO HAPPY & said this was exactly like it. I made it just as stated except I used cool whip in place of whipping the cream. It was pretty amazing and we have had it several times since then. I always use no roll pie crust Recipe #51537. This recipe is a keeper!
