Million Dollar Pie
Million Dollar Pie
Have you ever heard of a million dollar
pie? They are a pie that is easy to
make, inexpensive, and delicious. There
are many recipes online for this little no bake pie. It seems to have become
one of the favorite desserts to bring to a covered dish or to a family get
together.
I don’t know how it started. I would guess it started by someone who loved Ambrosia and wanted to make something similar in a pie form.
Whoever created the first million dollar pie I sure thank them.
It is sure to become a family favorite.
They’ll be begging you for more. It has been my families favorite since first bite.
Today I will be sharing two recipes and two links to sights that have absolutely
delicious recipes. Have fun looking.

Tips of The Day
I
If you are on a diet and want a less calorie loaded desseret simply use fat free Cool Whip and fruit packed in it's own juice.
Also, you can serve this delicious filling in a dessert cup instead of making it into a pie.
Plus, believe it or not, you can freeze it for later.
Isn't this a beautiful Million Dollar Pie?
