Make a Graham Cracker Pie Crust

Graham cracker crusts are always great when used for those simple pudding pies, such as banana cream or chocolate. See Step 1 below to learn how to make a graham cracker crust instead of a traditional dough one.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (126g) crushed graham crackers
• 1/4 cup (50g) sugar
• 1/3 cup (75g) butter, melted

Steps

1. Get a small bowl and mix the sugar and crackers together.
2. Pour in the butter and use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients together. If there's no hand blender available, you can whip the mixture by hand.
3. Pour the mixture into a ungreased, {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} pie pan or plate and mold it all around the sides and bottom.
4. Prepare the crust in two ways:
   • Hard: Place pan in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes at a temperature of 375ºF/190ºC. Bake until the crust is lightly browned and then place it on a cooling rack before using it.
   • Soft: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using it.

Tips

• If you use a blender or coffee grinder with the graham crackers, the crackers will come out more finer and smaller crumbs than if it was smashed in a plastic Zip-Lock bag.
