This is so good, and can be used with pies and cheesecakes. Try to use toasted whole almonds for this it really makes a huge difference in the taste, I make a triple recipe, divide into three equal potions, use one and then freeze the other two in freezer bags to have ready for when I need it for a recipe. This crust is well worth making. Ingredients:
3/4 cup whole almond (preferably toasted) |
20 thin chocolate wafer cookies |
1/4 cup butter, softened (no substitutes) |
1/3 cup sugar (can use more for a sweeter taste) |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Process almonds and wafers in a processor until fine crumbs form.
2. Add in all remaining ingredients and process until combined.
3. Press into 8 or 9-inch pie plate, or a 9-inch springform baking pan.
4. Bake in a 350 degree oven (second-lowest rack) for 10 minutes.
