Ginger Crumb Crust

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃) F, with a rack in the middle.

In a food processor, process the crumbs, crystallized ginger, sugar and ground ginger until they’re as fine as possible.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the melted butter.

Set aside ¼ cup of the crumb mixture for decorating the top of the pie.

Press the rest of the crumb mixture over the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch deep pie pan.

(A greased 8-inch springform pan gives a nicer- looking result for Frozen Lemon Pie.)

Bake the crust for 10 minutes.

On a separate pan or sheet of foil, at the same time, bake the ¼ cup of crumbs.

Cool the pie shell completely before putting a cold filling.
