This cookie crumb pie crust is for pie fillings that don't require baking. Jell-O offers a plethora of recipes that are simply folded into a crust, chilled, and served. The crust is excellent for pumpkin, sweet potato, and key lime pies. Super Easy Pumpkin Spice Dip, is awesome served as a pie in this crust. Just double the dip recipe, fold it into this baked and cooled crust, and serve immediately. Ingredients:
36 gingersnap cookies, pulverized (about 2 cups) |

2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 egg white (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Pulverize the ginger snap cookies in a food processor if you have one, if not, you can crush them with a rolling pin.
3. Combine the first three ingredients and mix well.

5. To smooth and pack the crust, place another 9-inch pie pan down into the crust (as if you are stacking the pans) and press firmly.
