- 1 and 1/2 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheet graham crackers)
- 6 Tablespoons (72g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup granulated white sugar
- Use a food processor to grind graham cracker sheets. Or crush them in a zipped top bag with a rolling pin.
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar together with a rubber spatula in a medium bowl until combined. The mixture will be thick, coarse, and sandy.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the dish or pan and slightly up the sides. This crust will fit into a 9 – 10 inch pan. Make sure it is tight and compact. Use the bottom of a flat measuring cup. It helps! The crust will be thick.
- For a baked dessert, pre-bake this crust per your recipe’s directions. Pre-bake for 10 minutes at 350°F (177°C). For a no-bake dessert, chill the crust for 2 hours before using in your recipe.
- Variations: Use cinnamon, honey, or chocolate flavor graham crackers depending on your dessert recipe. I usually use honey flavor because it is the most mild. If I’m baking a chocolate treat, I like to switch things up and use the chocolate graham crackers. Try using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a hint of molasses flavor.
