Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free graham cracker crumbs see notes
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons butter melted
  • pinch of salt optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Add the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt to a large bowl. Mix together until all of the crumbs are moistened. **If you are making your own graham cracker crumbs with a food processor, feel free mix the crumbs, sugar, butter, and salt together with the food processor.**
  • Use a flat bottomed measuring cup to firmly press the crumbs into a 9 inch pie dish or 9 inch spring-form pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 10 minutes. 
  • Cool before adding the filling.

Notes

  • I make my own graham cracker crumbs by processing gluten free graham crackers in my food processor. It only takes a minute!
  • If you don't need gluten free, just use regular graham crackers!
  • Yes, you can skip the baking part for a truly no-bake dessert.
