Enhance the flavors of your pie with a cookie crumb crust. Whether it’s chocolate, key lime, or no-bake, this sweet crust is a great choice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar, depending on the sweetness of the cookies
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Crush the cookies. You can use a food processor to make the crumbs or put the cookies in a food storage bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.
  2. Put the cookie crumbs in a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and melted butter, mixing well until the crumbs are well coated with the butter.
  3. Press the crumbs into the pie pan and firmly press them into the bottom and up the sides. This will give your pie a sturdy base when it’s chilled or baked.
  4. You can either chill the crust before filling or bake it in a 350 F oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
