Millionaire Pie

1Steve's Note:

Delicious any time, Millionaire Pie is especially prized by the summer cook who doesn't want to heat up the kitchen. The pie itself requires no cooking. If you use an already prepared Graham cracker crust tyhere is no need to use the oven at all.

Really quick & tastes great. Easy to make. Everyone loved it! I omitted the pecans though.

This is a very easy and great tasting dish. I used a ready made graham cracker pie crust. I didn't use the rest of the cool whip on top and it turned out just fine. Everyone liked it and I'll make it again.
