Love cool, creamy desserts in the summer? You have to try Strawberry Pretzel Salad!
My last recipe for #SummerDessertWeek!
If you haven’t seen my other posts (Circus Animal Cookie Ice Cream and Lemon Bar Cheesecake), it’s a yearly event organized by Angie of Big Bear’s Wife where bloggers post literally hundreds of our favorite summer treat recipes!
My recipe for today are these Million Dollar Pie Bars which are so good you’d be willing to pay a million dollars for one! It’s my twist on the classic Million Dollar Pie and it’s completely no bake and so delicious.
How To Make Million Dollar Pie Bars
If you search the internet, you will find so many different Million Dollar Pie recipes. Or sometimes it’s called a Millionare Pie. My mom makes one with mandarin oranges and it was my FAVORITE growing up.
The thing that all Million Dollar Pies have in common is that they have a base made with sweetened condensed milk and Cool Whip.
But first you make a really easy graham cracker crust and press it into a baking pan. No baking of the crust required!
The sweetened condensed milk gets mixed with lime juice, crushed pineapple, chopped maraschino cherries, coconut, and pecans. Then the Cool Whip gets folded in really gently because you want it to keep that classic Cool Whip texture we all know and love.
The bars get refrigerated until they are set (at least 4 hours but I like to chill them overnight) and then you top them with whipped cream and another cherry before you serve them.
Can You Use Homemade Whipped Cream?
I don’t recommend using homemade whipped cream in place of the Cool Whip. It is the texture of the Cool Whip that causes these bars to set up so nicely and hold their bar shape when cut.
How long Are Million Dollar Pie Bars Good For?
You can store Million Dollar Pie Bars in an airtight container for up to 5 to days. Don’t top with whipped cream until you are ready to serve them.
I serve them right out of the fridge. If they are left out at room temperature for too long, they may start to melt.
