Golden Graham Cracker Crust

Buttery, sweet, and perfectly compressed crust designed for cheesecakes, cream pies, and tarts.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) Graham cracker crumbs (~10–11 full sheets)
  • 1/3 cup (65g) Granulated or brown sugar
  • 6 tbsp (85g) Unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch Salt and optional pinch of cinnamon

Steps

  1. 1

    Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the sugar and pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Pour in the melted butter and stir thoroughly until crumbs resemble wet sand and hold together when pinched.

  3. 3

    Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish using the flat base of a measuring cup. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes to set, or chill for 30 minutes for a no-bake pie.
