How To Make ~ graham cracker cream pie ~
-
Step 1For crust: Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Melt butter, add to crumbs, sugar and cinnamon. Mix until thoroughly blended. Press into a 9 inch or 9 1/2 inch pie plate ( which is what I used ) I use a cup to press on the bottom and my fingers to press sides firmly.
-
Step 2Bake for 10 minutes and then cool completely.
-
Step 3While crust cools, make filling. In a medium saucepan, over med heat, whisk together, yolks, sugar, milk, cream, vanilla, butter and salt. Whisk constantly until thickens. Lower heat and continue cooking for another seven minutes.
-
Step 4Pour into prepared crust. Cover filling with plastic wrap, so the top of pudding doesn't form a skin. Chill several hours or until set enough to cut.
-
Step 5I run about an inch of hot water in sink and set cold pie in the water, holding around edges for a few seconds to make easier to cut and remove crumb crust easily. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs!
