I don't own a food processor, but even if I did, I doubt I would get one out, mess it up, and then wash it simply to make a cheesecake graham cracker crust. My way, the old fashion way, is so much easier!
You only need a gallon size Ziploc bag and a rolling pin.
How to Crush Graham Crackers for a Graham Cracker Crust
It is very simple to crush graham crackers to make a pie or cheesecake crust.
Simply place 15 graham cracker sheets* in the gallon size Ziploc bag, zip the bag closed leaving about a half inch open. The half inch opening keeps the bag from busting when crushing the graham crackers.
Then, roll a rolling pin over the closed Ziploc bag to crush the graham crackers inside the bag.
When the graham crackers are fully crushed, pour them into a large mixing bowl, and throw away the Ziploc bag.
Now, isn't that much easier than washing the food processor bowl, lid & blade!
*Graham Cracker sheets consist of 4 or more small
rectangle or square pieces joined by a scored line. The sheet is the full,
unbroken graham cracker.
