Ingredients
- 2 cups (crumbled) Vegan chocolate cookies or gingersnap cookies
- 6 tablespoons Vegan butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Place vegan chocolate cookies or gingersnap cookies into a food processor. Pulse until the cookies are finely ground into crumbs. You should end up with about 2 cups of crumbs.
Step 3
Transfer the cookie crumbs to a mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar and salt, then mix to combine.
Step 4
Pour the melted vegan butter into the bowl with the crumbs. Stir with a spoon or spatula until the mixture resembles damp sand and holds together when pressed.
Step 5
Grease a 9-inch pie pan or tart pan lightly with vegan butter or oil. Pour the cookie crumb mixture into the pan.
Step 6
Using the bottom of a measuring cup or a clean glass, firmly press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan to create the crust.
Step 7
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before filling.
Step 8
Use immediately for a no-bake filling or refrigerate the crust to set further, depending on your dessert needs.
