The Best soda cracker pie recipe

I’ve been making soda cracker pie for years, and it’s always a hit with my family. It’s a simple recipe that’s perfect for potlucks or family gatherings.

The combination of the crunchy soda crackers and the creamy filling is a match made in heaven. I love that it’s a low-key recipe that’s easy to whip up on a weeknight or a weekend.

My kids adore helping me crush the soda crackers in a food processor, and they get so excited when they get to add the sugar on top of the pie before we bake it. I’ve even served it at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and it’s always a crowd-pleaser.

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it’s relatively healthy compared to some other sweet treats out there. The soda crackers are basically just crushed up cookies, but they add such a nice texture to the filling.

Plus, you can easily make this pie vegan by using plant-based milk and a non-dairy whipped topping. The best part is that it’s ridiculously easy to make – just mix together some cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla, pour it into a pie crust filled with crushed soda crackers, and bake until golden brown.
