Cookie-type pie crustHigh

This cookie-type pie crust is made from a recipe using crushed vanilla wafer cookies, chilled to set before use. It provides an alternative to traditional flour-based pie crusts and is commonly used in desserts requiring a sweet, crunchy base.

Typically, it contains a mix of carbohydrates and fats from the cookies and added ingredients like butter or margarine, resulting in an energy-dense item. Nutritionally, this crust is notable for providing significant amounts of Vitamin K, Vitamin E, Folate (B9), and Vitamin A (RAE), as well as moderate sodium content.

It is suitable for vegetarians and is enjoyed primarily as a dessert base in Indian and Western-style sweets. Being a prepared/processed baked good, it should be consumed in moderation due to its sugar and fat content.
