Rose'S Millionairesse Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (8 ounce) carton whipped topping, thawed
9 inches pie shells or 9 inches graham cracker crust

Preparation

Cream together the softened cream cheese and the sugar with an electric mixer, letting the mixer run for 3 or 4 minutes on high speed.
Stir into the cream cheese mixture the crushed pineapple, coconut, and pecans, and mix well.
Carefully fold in half of the whipped topping until filling is blended well. Reserve remaining half for top (see below).
Pour filling into pie shell and chill for several hours.
Garnish with a dollop of the whipped topping when served, or you can spread the remaining half of the topping over the whole pie and finish with a sprinkling of chopped pecans.
A third alternative is to fold both cups of whipped topping into the filling; this works quite well and makes for an even lighter texture, but allow more chilling time before serving if you go this route.
