Million Dollar Pie?

[cookingwithliz]

Does anyone have a Million Dollar Pie Recipe? The kids at work say my website is lame because I don't have a Million Dollar Pie recipe. I've never heard of a Million Dollar Pie. I told them I would find the recipe and make them a pie.

I'll have to ask. I assumed it was a really a really rich, chocolate type pie. Thanks for the response.

The only pie I've ever had called a Million Dollar Pie was like a Pina Colada Cheese cake type of pie with crushed walnuts and coconut. A chocolate cream pie would be worth a million bucks too during a severe chocolate craving. Hey, I'm having one of them cravings right now, lol.

Here is the Recipe that I use :



1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained with juice reserved
1 banana, peeled and sliced
1 quart fresh strawberries
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 drops red food coloring (optional)
3 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted






DIRECTIONS
Slice the strawberries and combine them with sugar, corn starch and red food coloring (if desired). Mix well. In a medium saucepan cook the strawberry mixture over medium heat until thickened. Set aside to cool.
Cream together 2 tablespoons of pineapple syrup and cream cheese. Spread mixture in the bottom of the pastry shell. Slice the bananas on top of the cream cheese and pour the drained pineapple tidbits over the top of the bananas. Pour the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese/banana filling. Add your favorite whipped topping and sprinkle the top with toasted coconut and nuts. Serve

Hmmm... I'm at a loss, too.

Although Francie's (Mrsjimmyp's) recipe idea sounds yummy.

Is that what you were thinkin' of?

I was thinking a Key Lime Pie with the filling dyed a little bit greener than usual. Then you decorate the Meringue top using a dark green frosting and a piping bag and pipe a $1,000,000.00 bill on top VIOLA a Million Dollar PIR And best yet tasty to boot, my all-time favorite pie!!!!
