Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 6 ounces vanilla wafer cookies (about 46 vanilla wafers, 12 graham crackers, or 30 chocolate wafers)

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (coarse)
  • 5 tablespoons butter, unsalted (melted)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, pulse the cookies until they are finely ground (you should have about 1 1/2 cups). Add sugar, salt, and butter and pulse until combined.

  • Step 2: Firmly press crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. (If using a springform pan, press crumbs halfway up sides.) Bake until the crust is dry and set, about 12 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack before filling.
