If you don’t have graham cracker crumbs, you can easily make your own.
Using a food processor, pulverize the graham crackers until finely ground into crumbs or place graham crackers in a large ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.
Mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl. Pour in melted butter/coconut oil and mix with a fork until all the crumbs are wet.
Pour the mixture into a pie plate or springform pan. Use the bottom of a clean measuring cup to press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and sides of the pan, molding them into a crust shape. If using a pie plate, press the crumbs up the sides with your fingers or use a measuring cup to press the crumbs into the pan.
For a crisper crust, bake this crust for 8-10 minutes at 375F. Or, chill it for 10-20 minutes if it's for a no-bake recipe.
