Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups Sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until the texture resembles wet sand and can hold its shape when pressed together.
Transfer the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish. Spread evenly and press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the dish using the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed measuring cup.
Place the pie crust in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the crust is fragrant.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before adding your pie filling of choice.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
