Ingredients
Instructions
-
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it's ready when you're done preparing the pie crust.
-
In a food processor or a zip-lock bag, crush the Rice Krispies cereal until they form fine crumbs. You want a mixture of fine crumbs and some larger pieces for texture.
-
Transfer the crushed Rice Krispies into a mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully combined.
-
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides. Use the back of a spoon or a measuring cup to ensure it's packed tightly and evenly.
-
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until it's set and just starting to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
-
Once baked, remove the crust from the oven and let it cool completely before adding your desired filling.
-
Your Rice Krispies pie crust is now ready to be filled with your favorite pie filling. Whether you choose a creamy pudding, a fruity compote, or a rich chocolate ganache, this crispy crust will add a delightful contrast in texture and flavor.
