What’s in this Graham Cracker Crust Recipe?
This pie crust recipe doesn’t require any baking. Talk about easy! That makes it perfect for no-bake dessert recipes. Just make the crust mixture, mold it into a pan, and then cover and refrigerate it to set it in place.
Graham Cracker Crumbs: You can buy the crumbs or make your own from whole graham cracker sheets. Sugar: A mixture of granulated and brown sugar sweetens the crust and enhances the overall flavor. Kosher Salt: Balances the sweetness of the crust. Unsalted Butter: Binds the crust together so it doesn’t crumble apart.
Pro Tip: If you are using this for a dessert recipe that does require baking, no problem! That works too, and no need to pre-bake it before filling it.
