Homemade Graham Cracker Crust

by Marie on November 6, 2007

I love a good pie crust. I have this great recipe for a graham cracker crust that is easy to make and yummy to eat. Once you have this recipe, it can be used with lots of delicious desserts.

Graham Cracker Crust

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 ½ c. graham crackers, crushed (fun for kids to help with this part, use a rolling pin to crush)
  • 1/3 c. sugar
  • 6 Tbs. butter, melted
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon

Mix & press
Bake 7 min. @ 375°

A few good Pie fillers for your homemade crust:

  • Cheesecake, Oreos with ice cream, pudding, fruit and whipped cream

Here I filled this crust with slightly melted Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream and then re-froze it. You may need to thaw it out a little before cutting and serving. (I love Dreyer’s 1/2 the fat ice cream, but I seem to eat twice as much!)

OH….YEAH! Love the pumpkin ice cream in the homemade crust.

I bought a graham cracker crust the other day because they were super cheap at Target. Never again. I remembered why I had never bought one before. Homemade is SO much better!

I could seriously just eat this pie crust by itself.

My favorite graham cracker pie crust filling is pink lemonade ice cream filling. 1 small can of pink lemonade to 1/2 gallon of ice cream with whipping cream mixed in as well. Soften the ice cream first, add the lemonade and whipping cream and stir. Put it back in the graham cracker crust and freeze firm. Serve after frozen.

Yummy

I don’t like the standard rolled out flour based crust on pumpkin pies, so I use Graham Cracker crusts..now I will make my own! They’re getting SOOO expensive!

I love this recipe! This is the first time that I have ever made a homemade graham cracker crust! This was wonderful!!! No more store bought for me!

This was a great pie crust. I have never made one until now and I think I will use this recipe forever, and it is super easy. Thanks a lot! Coconut cream with sliced Cara Cara Oranges sounded like a good filling! Thanks again!

I have made homemade crusts before, but this one tastes absolutely the best! I think it is the addition of the cinnamon that makes a difference. It was a wonderful crust for my lemon icebox pie.

I have never made a pie crust from scratch. But this one sounds easy enough that even I can do it. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks

Hey so mine didn’t really come out as planned as in it’s not really a crust as it is just graham cracker crumbs with pudding on top.

20 MissGabyLee December 13, 2009 at 9:30 am

Sounds great! It’s very close to the crust of the recipe for this wonderful and delicious Key Lime Pie at this restaurant I work in. TIP: The more BUTTER you use, the BETTER!!

I have made it similar to this before but it seemed to dry. So I gave this a try and OMG… its AWESOME!!!! My filling was Philly Cream Cheese,Vanilla Pudding with Cool Whip on top and then ya top it with whatever fruit slices you would like. I prefer strawberries.
Thank You Again
P.S.It was a last minute Christmas desert.. lol
