Notes
- Tip 1: It’s highly recommended to make this delicious dessert a day ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight. This will allow it to thicken and makes it easier to cut into slices.
- Tip 2: Instead of using a food processor, you can also put your graham crackers and pecans into a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Tip 3: Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your crust as the suggested baking time approaches.
- Tip 4: Double-check that your baked crust is completely cool before going on to your second layer. It’s important that the crust is cooled so that the following layers set properly on top of it.
