I fixed this crust as the base for my Lemon Meringue Pie and I was shocked at how good it tasted. I was not expecting to decide to use this crust in other recipes, such as cheese cake, but I have to admit, I was swayed by the great taste of this crust

Tips to make the best low carb graham cracker crust
- If you’d like a crispy and firm crust, bake it for 10-15 minutes at 180C/350F. Let it cool completely, before filling.Â
- You can use any cookie you like. Avoid ones that have chocolate chips or dried fruit/nuts mixed in. I like using chocolate cookies when making chocolate-inspired desserts.
- Make sure your butter is melted, otherwise there will be chunks of butter throughout.Â
- This crust can be used for individual desserts, like cheesecake cupcakes.
