Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s start with the crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until everything is well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand. Then, press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of your pie dish to form a crust. Make sure it’s compacted well to hold up against the pudding filling. Refrigerate the crust for at least 15 minutes to set it nicely before adding the filling. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
