Categories     Dessert

Time 13m

Yield 1 pie crust, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

50 vanilla wafers (approx 1 1/2 cups)
6 tablespoons butter or 6 tablespoons margarine, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Place wafer cookies in a ziplocked bag. Roll a rolling pin over the bag until the wafers have been crushed into fine crumbs; pour crumbs into a mixing bowl.
  • Add the melted butter or margarine to the bowl and slowly combine with the crumbs using a mixing spoon.
  • Turn crumb mixture onto a 9-inch pie plate and spread evenly around.
  • Using a small measuring cup (or your fingertips works fine) tightly press the crumb mixture onto bottom and sides of the pie pan to form a firm and even crust.
  • Place in oven and bake for 8 minutes.

Tips:

  • In order to achieve the best results, start with cold butter and cream cheese.
  • Always use a food processor or a pastry blender to combine the ingredients for the crust. This will help to ensure that the crust is evenly mixed and holds together well.
  • If you do not have a food processor or a pastry blender, you can use a fork to combine the ingredients. However, be sure to work quickly so that the butter and cream cheese do not become too warm.
  • If the crust is too dry, add a little bit of water or milk until it comes together.
  • If the crust is too wet, add a little bit of flour until it is no longer sticky.
  • Be sure to press the crust firmly into the pie plate. This will help to prevent it from shrinking or cracking during baking.
  • Always pre-bake the crust before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Allow the crust to cool completely before filling it.
  • When filling the crust, be sure to leave a little bit of space at the top so that the filling does not overflow during baking.
  • Bake the pie according to the recipe instructions.
