Ingredients

  • 2 cups of honey graham cracker cookies about 16 full length cookies
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • pinch salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place your graham crackers in a food processor or blender and grind them fine. Alternatively, you can put your cookies in a gallon-size plastic bag and crush the cookies with a rolling pin until fine.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, add the sugar, melted butter, and salt. Mix until well combined. Be sure any large chunks are crushed.
  • Next, add the graham cracker crumbs and mix well. Then, pour your cookie mixture evenly into a 9-inch springform pan (You can also use any other dish). Press the crumbs down along the bottom and side of the pan (about halfway) to form the crust. Be sure to pat the crumbs evenly. Alternatively, you can use the back of a measuring cup or spoon to pat the crumbs and form the crust.
  • If pre-baking is required, bake the crust at 350°F for about 10 minutes, then let it cool completely before adding the filling. For no-bake fillings, chill the crust in the refrigerator or freezer for 10–20 minutes before filling.
