Graham Cracker Crust

No ratings yet

When I think of graham cracker crust, I think of cheesecake. The graham cracker flavor is just the right amount of sweetness for the rich filling. Plus, one of the best things about a graham cracker crust is how simple it is to make. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can try my homemade graham crackers, but store bought work too for this simple recipe. This crust is also the perfect base for one of my all-time favorite pies: key lime.

Graham Cracker Crust

Some desserts just need a graham cracker crust. It's a perfect pairing for the richness of cheesecake and a sweet pairing for tart key lime pie. You can use store-bought graham crackers, of course, but if you're feeling ambitious, I highly recommend starting with my Homemade Graham Crackers recipe.
