I made a key lime pie for company.
This resulted in half a box of graham crackers left over -- Trader Joe's, they are very good.

Now I want to make another pie.
What sort of pie do you recommend for a graham cracker crust?
Any recipes that you particularly like?

Cream pies, I suppose, chocolate, banana, coconut . . .

I have a lemon cream cheese pie from a very old cheese book which takes only one box of cheese and one egg and tastes wonderful. Of course, I would put a chocolate ganache on top.

You could make the Margarita pie on graham crackers, although it's better on crushed pretzels.

Any kind of pie which has cream cheese or whipped cream or both as the bulk ingredient. Yumm.

How can you miss with cream cheese, whipped cream, lemon, booze....????

I'd also like to put in a good word for a meringue-type pie made with Valencia oranges, or blood oranges if you can get your hands on 'em, using as much juice as you can get away with in place of the water. (My go-to recipe calls for 1 C of cold liquid and 1.5 of boiling; I've successfully made it with 100% orange juice and it was fantabulous.)

Or maybe something along the lines of a Smores Pie? This Coffee Smores Pie from Bon Appetit sounds particularly drool-worthy...

S'mores Pie is definitely where my head went! You could easily do a chocolate custard and brûlée some marshmallow fluff on top of it.

Cherry-O-Cream Cheese Pie: from the back of a box or can--not sure if it was from the cream cheese, condensed milk, or the pie filling...

But a classic unbanked cheesecake. Today I use dried sour cherries to make my own topping, however....

Pecan-bourbon pie, with a spiced Graham cracker crust (I believe the spice blend was actually Chinese 5-spice mix).

Interesting and unusual, without being even a tiny bit weird.

This pie seems to be delicious. Apparently it looks to be tasty. Would try it for sure.

I make a "no-bake" cheesecake topped with lemon curd that's good in a graham cracker crust, although lately I've switched to ginger snaps instead. The only time-consuming part is the lemon curd. Here's the recipe (scroll down).

All three desserts sound lovely...I'm going to make the Praline-Bourbon Custard Parfait...and I really enjoyed reading the entire article.

Surprised the food police haven't had a fit and fallen into it over the uncooked egg whites in the meringue on the coffee s'mores pie...

I have made a pumpkin cheesecake (yes it is a pie, not a cake) with this kind of crust. Also a strawberry cream cheesecake with graham crackers and walnuts.

Panaderia Canadiense, I would very much like to have that orange meringue pie recipe if you wouldn't mind sharing it.

Spiced graham crackers sounds good -- I usually put in some cinnamon. Cardamom, cardamom coffee . . .
