Do you have to bake a ready made graham cracker crust?

Here's why:

* Prevents sogginess: Baking the crust helps to set the crackers, making it less likely to become soggy when you add the filling.

* Enhances flavor: Baking the crust releases the buttery flavor of the graham crackers, making it more flavorful.

* Improves texture: Baking the crust creates a slightly crispy texture, which contrasts nicely with the creamy filling.

However, you can use a ready-made graham cracker crust without baking it if you:

* Use a filling that's not too wet: Choose a filling that won't make the crust soggy, such as a light whipped cream or mousse.

* Refrigerate the pie for a while: This will help the crust to firm up and prevent it from becoming too soft.

Ultimately, the decision to bake or not depends on your preference and the type of filling you're using.
