Have you ever needed a graham cracker crust but didn't have any graham crackers? Well, that is exactly what happened to me the other night! I needed to bring a dessert for a party that I forgot about and I just had to throw something together with what I had (which was not much).
I had some leftover vanilla ice cream along with a few chocolate and butterscotch chips - so I decided that ice cream pie was the way to go! However, I did not have anything for the pie crust. As I was thinking of a way to make graham cracker pie crust without baking individual homemade graham crackers - it suddenly occurred to me that I could use breadcrumbs (provided that I sweeten them a little bit).
Here are the only three ingredients I used to make this faux-graham cracker pie crust:
5 slices of bread (I used 8 grain whole wheat)
1/4 cup of cinnamon sugar
1/2 cup of melted butter
Make this homemade crust in 5 easy steps:
Step 1: Mix bread and sugar in blender until it resembles coarse crumbs
Step 2: Add melted butter and blend until fully incorporated
Step 3: Press mixture into pie plate
Step 4: Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until golden-brown
Step 5: Pour pie filling into crust and chill (freeze if ice cream pie)
Enjoy!
