Prepare the Crust

In a food processor, blend 1 ½ cups of crushed vegan graham crackers with ¼ cup melted coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you work on the filling.

Pour and Chill
