Graham cracker crust
Template:Short description Template:Infobox prepared food
Graham cracker crust is a style of pie crust made from crushed graham crackers. Graham crackers are a sweet American cracker made from unbleached, whole wheat graham flour. The crust is usually flavored and stiffened with butter or vegetable oil and sometimes sugar.[1] Graham cracker crust is a very common type of crust for cheesecakes and cream pies in America.
Graham cracker pie crusts are available as a mass-produced product in the United States, and typically consist of the prepared crust pressed into a disposable aluminum pie pan.[2]
Variations use crushed cookies or Nilla wafers as substitutes for the graham crackers.
Graham cracker crusts may be baked or unbaked before filling.[3]
Origin
The invention of the graham cracker crust is credited to Monroe Boston Strause, who was known as the Pie King and also invented the chiffon pie.[4][5]
