Making a graham cracker crust for your no-bake pies and cheesecakes is a bit old hat these days. Usher in this festive season with a crumb crust that’s far from ordinary, but familiar at the same time. This crust provides a unique texture, and it just might be the easiest crumb crust out there.

The French lean pretty heavily on butter—and we let them, because they do wonderful things with it. Beurre blanc, for example, is a sauce made with a shallot-infused wine and vinegar reduction, a healthy slug of cream, and two whole sticks of butter.
