Creamy Millionaire Pie - featured image

A rich and creamy no-bake pie with a buttery graham cracker crust and a smooth, tangy filling. Perfect for last-minute guests or lazy weekends, this dessert impresses with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or full-fat coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted
  • Optional: shaved chocolate or caramel drizzle for garnish

Instructions

  1. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Compact firmly using the back of a spoon or flat-bottomed glass.
  4. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  5. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, adding lemon juice and vanilla extract during folding.
  8. Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set properly.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle chopped toasted nuts evenly over the top and optionally add shaved chocolate or caramel drizzle.

Notes

Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes for easier blending. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airiness. Chill pie overnight for best texture and flavor. Use double-bagging when crushing graham crackers to avoid mess. For dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use vegan cream cheese.
