Millionaire Pie is a staple at our family gatherings down South in Texas, Aunt Darlene’s specialty, to be exact.

We call it Millionaire Pie because it’s sooo rich! It is one of the most delicious things you’ve ever tasted in your life! Believe me, there’s NEVER any left, so you may want to make two of them and hide one!

This pie is green because it’s such a rich pie, plus it’s a great color to use for Christmas.
