Calories: 181kcal
Equipment
- 9 inch (23 cm) pie pan
- dry measuring cup
Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate Teddy Grahams
- ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter plus more if needed
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Add Teddy Grahams and brown sugar to a food processor. Pulse until a coarse crumb has formed. Stream in melted butter while the food processor is running at low speed. Blend until the butter is well combined and a sand-like texture has formed. The crust should easily hold together when you press it between your fingers. If it doesn't, add more melted butter 1 tablespoon (14 grams) at a time until it holds together.
- Place the crust in an ungreased 9 inch (23 cm) pie pan. Press the crust evenly onto the bottom and sides of the pan using your hands. Then, go over the bottom and sides of the crust using the bottom of a small dry measuring cup to firmly and evenly pat the crust in place.
- Bake for 7 - 10 minutes until the crust is set and has lightly browned around the edges. Allow crust to cool to room temperature on a cooling rack.
- Add desired pie filling and bake as directed.
Notes
Make Ahead: The crust is best if used the day it's made. However, it can be made up to 1 day ahead of time and stored uncovered at room temperature.
For No-Bake Pies: If you're using this crust recipe for a no-bake pie or cheesecake, omit steps 4 and 5. Rather, freeze the crust for 15 minutes before adding the desired filling.
If you don't have a food processor, place the chocolate Teddy Grahams in a ziplock bag. Use a rolling pin to crush the chocolate Teddy Grahams, then transfer to a mixing bowl along with brown sugar. Mix in the melted butter.
