Notes

  • To make the graham cracker crumbs, you can just use a rolling pin to crush them while they're still in their original packets (or another plastic bag). You can also put graham cracker pieces in your blender or food processor and crush them up by pulsing in short bursts.
Storage: Store homemade graham cracker crust tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
