Rock Hard Graham Cracker Crust!?

my favorite graham crust is super simple

and it doesn't involve added sugar

(i think the sugar might have made it hard)

Take your crushed crumbs and add MELTED butter a little bit at a time until the crumbs reach a good consistency. You'll know they're ready when you can press them down into the pan. I've chilled it overnight before and it made no difference. It's all about the melted butter...

I agree with the answer above me,it was probably the sugar added to the crust. To get your graham crackers crushed up better try putting them in a baggie and smashing them with something hard and heavy like a hammer.

hmm well my grandma made a jello like pie you get a pie crust then you mix a packet of any type of jello ( we'll just say strawberry) so then you mix in some cool whip and some fruit that goes with the jello ( so strawberries) and then you put it in the freezer until it is not to firm but not to goey (probably an hour or two) and also for serving: cut slices whipped cream or icescream on top cut strawberries (or whatever fruit is associated) hopes this helps! and delicious too! try different jellos and fruits and different amounts of cool whip too!

It will get rock hard if the sugar is out of proportion with the other ingredients. Did you use one tablespoon sugar for every one cup of crumbs?

I'm thinking it was the freezing part. I've had that problem before and now just put the crust in the refrigerator.
