Ingredients
 

  • 1 store-bought or homemade Graham Cracker Crust, use a large pie crust (at least 10 inch)
  • 8 oz block of cream cheese, softened
  • 8 oz can or 1 cup crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 cup dried shredded or desiccated Coconut, unsweetened
  • 1/3 cup jarred or canned maraschino cherries plus a few extra for garnish, drained (reserve its syrup) and chopped coarsely,
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cherry juice, from the reserved syrup
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans, reserve a few extra for garnish
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups whipping or heavy cream, whipped until stiff peaks form and sweetened with 3 tablespoons powdered sugar (or substitute with 1 tub of cool whip, see notes).

Instructions
 

  • Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and no more lumps appear. Add the crushed pineapple, coconut, maraschino cherries and its juice, toasted pecans, condensed milk, and lemon juice. Mix well. Set aside.
  • Make the whipped cream. To whip the heavy cream, place the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until it begins to thicken. Slowly add 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold in gently half of the whipped cream (reserving the other half as a topping) into the cherry and pineapple mixture. Stir everything carefully until evenly mixed.
  • Spoon the pie filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Top the filling with the remaining whipped cream and spread it all over.
  • Sprinkle the pie with extra pecans and chopped cherries. Refrigerate to set for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight. Serve chilled.

Notes

TIPS & TRICKS
Can I substitute a tub of cool whip for the heavy cream? 
Yes, you may, it's your choice. I personally prefer the freshly whipped cream because it tastes better and helps set up the pie. Certainly, in a pinch, you can substitute with a tub of cool whip as that's what's regularly used in other million dollar pie recipes.
