gluten-free biscotti crust recipe*

This simple recipe turns out a wonderful "crumb" crust that can be used for cheese cakes and pies calling for a graham cracker crust.

ingredients:

1 ¼ cup Mariposa gluten-free biscotti crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and warm

preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 325º, centering an oven rack in the middle.

2. Add the biscotti crumbs, sugar and butter to a food processor. Pulse to combine until the mixture resembles wet sand.

3. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie plate. Press the crumbs evenly on the bottom and up the sides forming the crust. Bake the crust until it is fragrant and beginning to brown, about 15-18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
