Pie Crust and Filling
Method
Preparation
- 1
Make the Pie Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Let cool.

Bake the Filling
Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours to chill.

Make the Sweet Cream Topping
In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
