Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir well until the mixture is evenly moistened.
  • Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate to form an even crust.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and let it cool completely.
  • While the crust is baking, spread 1/3 cup of the flaked coconut on a rimmed baking sheet and toast it in the oven for 4–6 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden brown. Allow to cool.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and fresh lemon juice until smooth and slightly thickened.
  • Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, drained mandarin oranges, and chopped pecans, reserving 1–2 tablespoons of pecans for garnish.
  • Carefully fold the Cool Whip and the remaining untoasted coconut into the fruit and nut mixture until fully combined.
  • Spoon the filling evenly into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle the toasted coconut and reserved chopped pecans evenly over the top.
  • Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set and firm.
  • Just before serving, garnish with maraschino cherries for a bright finishing touch.
  • Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Million Dollar Pie!
