Black Cherry Jello Pie - a sweet, creamy dessert made with Jello and homemade whipped cream poured into a sweet graham cracker crust. It's a dessert your whole family will love!
Break up the graham crackers and place them in your food processor (an optional method is to place the graham crackers in a large ziplock bag and roll with a rolling pin to crush).
Pulse until you have fine graham cracker crumbs.
Add in the sugar and cinnamon and pulse a few times more.
Transfer the graham crackers to a bowl. Add in the melted butter and stir until crumbs are evenly coated and the crumbs appear moist.
Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pour the crumbs into a 9-inch pie pan and spread evenly. Press the crumbs firmly to form a pie crust.
Place the crust in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let cool for about 15 minutes.
