Should You Bake A Graham Cracker Crust Before Filling?
It is not necessary to bake a graham cracker crust before filling, but it is recommended to do so for certain recipes that have a filling that requires baking. Baking the crust will help it set and prevent it from becoming too crumbly or soggy when the filling is added. It also adds a slightly toasty flavor to the crust. However, for no-bake fillings, you can simply chill the crust in the refrigerator before adding the filling.
