I often have leftover Nilla Wafers lying around, and while I’ve made cupcakes out of them, the obvious thing to do would be to make pie crust!
ingredients:
approx. 36 Nilla wafers
1/4 cup butter, melted
1-1/2 Tablespoons sugar
In a sealed plastic freezer bag, bash the heck out of the vanilla wafers. Or use a food processor. Whatever works. Combine the crumbs with the melted butter and the sugar – then press into your pie pan.
As you can tell from my picture I got super lazy and did not crush them that fine.
Now you can bake this or not, depending on how lazy you are. Use it as is, or to make it REALLY NICE, bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes depending on your oven. Let cool before you use it.
Kid's lunches, simple dinners and a whole lot of geeky baking.
This crust is perfect for banana cream pies. Thanks!
I used this pie crust today for a coconut cream pie. The original recipe called for 40 wafers, 1/4 cup granulated sugar an 6 tablespoons of melted butter which seemed too sweet. I can’t wait to cut into this one.
