I made this for a chocolate cream pie and it worked wonderfully. Next time, I will toast the almonds five minutes, then cool them before I add them to the crust mixture because I really like the flavor of toasted almonds. Any time you need a vanilla wafer cookie crust, I recommend this one because both the vanilla and the almonds make it special.
