Description

A rich pudding topped with a graham cracker crumb mixture is baked in a homemade graham cracker crust.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
24 graham crackers, crushed
1 quart milk
1 pinch salt
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 In a medium bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, and 2/3 of the crushed graham crackers. Press lightly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
3 In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix milk, salt, egg yolks, vanilla, white sugar, and cornstarch. Stirring constantly, cook until thickened, about 12 minutes. Pour into the baking dish.
