Graham Cracker Pie Crust

and Whipped Cashew Cream

Nov 24, 2024

A little tip I share every year is that cookie recipes sometimes make great pie crusts. Two of my favorites are my cinnamon cookie recipe and my ginger snap cookie recipe.

My latest pie crust creation was inspired by my graham cracker recipe. I spent time this past week testing it to make sure it didn’t get soggy or burn around the edges. I’m really happy with what I landed on. And check out all the pie crust tips I gathered to share with you.

On a disappointing note, I’m no longer recommending Savoy coconut cream. A reader pointed out that they add polysorbate to their cans now. Needless to say I’m removing that brand from my recipes. Read more about this in a chat thread.

I created a whipped cashew cream recipe that works well as a replacement for coconut cream or heavy cream. I’m still biased towards coconut cream, but from now on I’m gathering it from refrigerated coconut milk.

I have a Kitchen Essentials page with some of my favorite cooking tools, and to add to that I decided to also share things in an Amazon Shop. While I’m not into the shopping frenzy that permeates every corner of life at this time of year, I do like some kitchen finds and tools, so hope this helps.

Thanks for having me in your inbox and for playing with me in the kitchen.

Have a delicious week,
Erica
