Steps:
- 1. Put the graham crackers in a food processor with 2 TBL brown sugar. Pulse until completely crumbly. OR put the crackers in a zip top baggie and crush them with a rolling pin. Put the crumbs in a bowl and add the sugar. Then add 6 TBL melted butter to the graham cracker mixture. Press the mixture into a pie tin and bake for 5 minutes at 350 degrees. Let cool while you make the filling.
- 2. With a hand mixer or stand mixer, combine pie ingredients until very smooth and creamy. Pour into prepared crust. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 or until firm. If it is very jiggly or looks wet in the center, bake for another 5 minutes or so. Let the pie cool for 5 minutes.
- 3. Whip the topping ingredients and gently pour over the top of the pie, covering the filling completely. Bake for another 5 minutes. Cool completely and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
