Recipe for Cookie Crumb Crust

Servings: Makes 1 (9-inch/23cm) crust
Comments:
Quick and easy to assemble, with no rolling required, this crust forms the base for simple pies, such as chocolate pudding pie and banana cream pie.


Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups cookie crumbs, such as graham crackers, chocolate wafers, vanilla wafers, shortbread cookies, digestive biscuits, or gingersnaps
5 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
3 tbsp. sugar


Instructions:
Position a rack in the middle of an oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C).

In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, butter and sugar and stir until the crumbs are well moistened. Pat the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and all the way up the sides of a 9-inch (23cm) pie pan or dish.

Bake until the crust is firm, about 5 minutes. For a firmer, crunchier crust, bake for 5 minutes more.

Makes one 9-inch (23cm) crust.
