Questions

Why fold instead of stir in Millionaire Pie?

Step 3 reads: "Gently fold in 8 oz thawed frozen whipped topping until completely incorporated." Folding keeps the air you just beat in. Stirring at step 3 would knock it out and the result would come out dense.

Is there a substitute for sweetened condensed milk in Millionaire Pie?

The entry for Millionaire Pie calls for 14 oz sweetened condensed milk. In its place: There is no quick swap. Simmer two cups of milk with two thirds of a cup of sugar until reduced by half, about 35 minutes.

Can I make Millionaire Pie dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Millionaire Pie is 14 oz sweetened condensed milk. Swap the sweetened condensed milk for a plant-based version of the same product. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Millionaire Pie gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Millionaire Pie is 1 graham cracker pie crust. Swap the bread or crumbs for a gluten-free loaf or gluten-free panko. Everything else proceeds as written.

Does Millionaire Pie contain tree nuts?

Yes: 1/2 cup pecans, chopped. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten, dairy and tree nuts. Where the nuts are a garnish or a texture, toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds stand in. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.
