Ritz Cracker Pie Crust Recipe

American · Dessert · 20 min total

A buttery, salty-sweet alternative to traditional graham cracker crust, perfect for no-bake pies and cheesecakes.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Ritz cracker crumbs (about 35 crackers)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place Ritz crackers in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, place crackers in a resealable bag and crush with a rolling pin.
3. In a medium bowl, combine cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour melted butter over mixture and stir with a fork until all crumbs are evenly moistened.
4. Transfer mixture to a 9-inch pie plate. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides using the bottom of a measuring cup or your fingers.
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Cool completely on a wire rack before filling.
6. For a no-bake crust, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set before filling.

Tips

• Use salted butter if you prefer a saltier crust; reduce added salt if using salted crackers.
• Store baked crust at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
• For a chocolate variation, substitute 2 tablespoons of sugar with cocoa powder.
