5 Easy No-Bake Pie Crust Recipes

During the hot Summer months, I avoid heating up my kitchen with the oven. I prefer to make no-bake pie crusts, by using alternative ingredients.
You don't need to use a rolling pin, dough board, pastry blender or any of the traditional pie baking equipment. All you basically need are the ingredients, a large bowl, a measuring cup and of course, your pie pan.
These recipes are easy to make and best suited for refrigerated or frozen dessert-style pies. You will want to chill your pie crust for 1 hour (or until firm), before filling the pie shell with your pie filling.
Here are 5 of my favorite recipes.
Chocolate Cookie Crumb
24 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
1/4 c. butter, melted

6 tbsp. butter (melted)
Combine crushed cornflakes with sugar and butter, until well mixed. Spread the crumb mixture evenly and firmly into a 9" round pie pan.

1 1/2 c. finely crushed vanilla wafers (about 39)
