Graham Cracker Pie Crust Recipe

 

Graham Cracker Crust

One of my favorite no-bake pie crusts is the classic graham cracker crust. It’s tasty, crunchy and great with all types of no-bake pies such as no-bake cheesecake. The best part? It’s super easy.

Graham Cracker Crust Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers (about 20 squares)

  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)

  • 2 Tablespoons sugar

In addition to your ingredients, you will need a 9- or 10-inch pie pan, a large, seal-able plastic bag and a rubber mallet (or rolling pin).

Method

Crushing Graham Crackers

1. First, put all the graham crackers in the plastic bag and smash them into crumbs using the rubber mallet. Or, if you don’t have a mallet, you can roll them with the rolling pin. Set aside.

It’s always helpful to have a destruction-inclined child at the ready for this operation.

Mixing Graham Cracker Crust

2. Next, if your pie plate is microwave safe, melt the butter directly in it. If not, melt the butter in a microwave safe container and pour into the pie plate.

3. Add the graham cracker crumbs and the sugar to the pan. Mix thoroughly.

4. Press the mixture into the pan uniformly, starting on the bottom, then pressing the corner and sides. Finally, press an even edge into the top rim of the crust.

5. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for an hour to solidify.

That’s it! You’re now ready to fill that crust with something fantastic.

Naturally, I recommend my recipe for no-fail, all-natural no-bake cheesecake. Phwoar!

  2. Hi,I love the look of your no-bake cheesecake recipe, and I’m a major cheesecake fan, but I’m in the UK – no Graham crackers!Can anyone suggest a suitable alternative?Many thanks,

  3. Hi Deborah! I did a little research online, and most sites say the closest thing is to use digestive biscuits. I’ve had McVities (yum), and I don’t think they’re anything like graham crackers. But I *do* think they’d make an excellent crumb crust. If you try it, let me know!~Angela ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. Hey, like the look of the Graham Cracker crust; could I use Arnotts Marie biscuits instead? Thanks
