Mile High Pie is a no-bake frozen dessert with a tall, creamy filling layered with fruit, chocolate, and nuts over a crisp cookie crust. Light, refreshing, and customizable, it’s a showstopper treat perfect for warm days and special gatherings.

Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or chocolate cookie crumbs
  2. 1/3 cup melted butter
  3. 2 tbsp sugar (optional)
  4. 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  5. 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice
  6. 2 cups whipped topping or whipped cream
  7. 4 oz softened cream cheese (optional, for richness)
  8. 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  9. 1/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries
  10. 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  11. 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  12. Additional whipped cream or topping for garnish
  13. Chocolate shavings, fruit slices, or nuts for garnish

Instructions

Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar. Press firmly into a pie dish or springform pan. Chill to set.

  1. In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk and citrus juice until thickened. Fold in whipped topping and softened cream cheese (if using).
  2. Stir in or layer pineapple, cherries, chocolate, and nuts into the filling.
  3. Spoon filling into the crust, mounding it high. Smooth the top into a dome shape.
  4. Cover and freeze for at least 4–6 hours or overnight.
  5. Before serving, top with more whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings, nuts, or fruit. Slice with a hot knife for clean cuts.

Notes

  • Drain fruits well to prevent excess moisture in the filling.
  • Use a springform pan for a taller, more dramatic presentation.
  • Stabilized whipped cream is recommended if freezing longer than a day or two.
