For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of melted butter. If the crust seems too dry, add a tablespoon of melted butter at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. For a chocolate version, add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the cornflake mixture. This crust is best suited for no-bake pies or pies with fillings that don't require long baking times, as prolonged baking can cause it to become overly brittle.

Mar 2, 2025I found that chilling the crust for longer, about an hour, made a big difference in how well it held its shape.

Jan 22, 2025Make sure the cornflakes are crushed very finely, otherwise the crust can be a little crumbly.
