Ingredients
- 12 sheets graham crackers
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons ripe mango puree
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Using a food processor, pulse the graham crackers into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the crackers in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter until fully liquid, about 30–45 seconds.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted butter, mango puree, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined and the texture resembles wet sand.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie or springform pan. Using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a flat measuring cup, firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan to create an even layer.
Step 6
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until it is lightly golden and smells fragrant. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before adding any fillings.
Step 7
Optional: If you prefer a no-bake crust, skip the baking step and refrigerate the crust for at least 1 hour to set before filling.
Step 8
Your Mango Graham Cracker Crust is now ready to be filled with your favorite pie or cheesecake filling. Serve and enjoy!
