Ingredients

1 1/2 cups finely crushed cookie crumbs (e.g., graham crackers, chocolate wafers, or shortbread)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and sugar.
Pour the melted butter over the crumb mixture and stir with a fork until all crumbs are evenly moistened.
Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan.
Press the crumbs firmly and evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before filling, or bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes if a firmer crust is desired.

Tips

For a chocolate crust, use chocolate wafer cookies or Oreos (filling removed).
Store leftover crust in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
If baking, let cool completely before adding filling.
