An easy, three-ingredient No Bake Graham Cracker Crust. This pie crust can be the base for any pie, including your favorite!
If even the thought of turning on your oven makes you sweat, then this no bake graham cracker crust recipe is for you! It is as easy as melting butter and stirring it all together. The magic of combining the three ingredients and then pressing out the crust by hand in your favorite pie dish is just so simple, I always come back to this recipe. It will give you a pie crust wih pretty edges that you can use as the crust for any pie! Personally, I use this no bake graham cracker crust in my no-bake s’mores pie, but you could also use it as a base for key lime pie, lemon meringue pie or even this chocolate chip cheesecake (though I do strongly suggest using a baked one!}!
I even make it one step easier by using store-bought graham cracker crumbs. I’m not sure when they started selling those but Thank, God! Am I alone in feeling like that one extra step (and the extra CLEANING) are just too much sometimes?!
If you are a purist or cannot find the pre-ground, then by all means crush some graham crackers instead! Use a plastic bag and a rolling pin to beat them into crumbs (very cathartic) or pulse in a food processor. You will need 12 full graham crackers to get the crumbs for this no bake graham cracker crust recipe.

Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups graham cracker crumbs 2 packages of full crackers
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup melted butter 1 stick
Instructions
- In a food processor (or you can buy them pre-ground, which is AMAZING!), finely grind the crackers until there are no more discernable pieces of cracker. Pour into a medium bowl.
- Add the salt and melted butter and mix until all the crumbs are moist and homogenous.
- Press into your 9-10 inch pie dish (the one pictured is 9 ½ inches) using a tart tamper or the back of a ½ cup measuring cup, which is what I did.
- Refrigerate.

Hi. I googled for a (word for word) No bake Sugar free 9″ Graham cracker crust recipe. I got everything but. I wasn’t sure what amount to add to make up the volume of sugar I omitted because of the consistency, so… I’m going to wing it. Keep your 🤞for me! Thanks

Hi Toki! You could replace the sugar with a sugar substitute! If you’re omitting any type of sugar altogether, this recipe will likely have an impacted taste and texture, but you should still have a crust. You might have to add an extra tablespoon or so of butter to help it stay together (the sugar also helps bind it). Let me know how it goes, and happy (no)baking!
This is the best no bake graham cracker crust I’ve ever made! I’ve tried others but it never quite set hard enough to be a crust or hard enough to break a tooth. :b This one was perfect! Highly recommended!
Hi Trisha! Thank you so much for leaving a comment, I’m glad this crust was just want you needed!
