Chocolate pie crusts are unquestionably delicious, but making them from scratch takes some work. The thought of surgically extracting the vanilla cream from the middle of 30 Oreo cookies? Not exactly my idea of a good time.
While walking through the cookie aisle of the grocery store, I had an epiphany: Why not substitute Oreos with Teddy Grahams?
Teddy Grahams are as yummy as they are cute. Toss a handful of these little guys into a food processor (a coffee grinder works well, too), hit the pulverize button, and you’ve got yourself a delicious and crunchy chocolate crust that rivals an Oreo one.
By the way, this crust is perfect for custard pies because the crunchiness of the Grahams holds up well.
Enjoy!
