Hi Rachel,

Sure, you can! The base simply makes it easier to lift out of the pan. :)

WOW!!! This is the bomb diggity! Made it for a work party and it was a HUGE hit! Several people asked for the recipe. I, like others, could not find chocolate graham crackers so substituted Oreo cookies. Used an entire package of the “thin” Oreos. Whisked them in a food processor till larger crumbs (just a few seconds) lined the pan with parchment paper, as read in a suggestion, and proceeded as per recipe. I had 2 pieces and had to stop myself from going back for a third! Will be making this again soon. Sommer what a great recipe. Thank you for posting and sharing. It is the best!

Hi Lisa,

Yes, you can! I would HALF this recipe for an 8X8 inch dish.

This is so good! Instead of laying the chocolate Graham crackers on the bottom, I placed a whole sleeve on the chocolate Graham crackers in a food processor and made them into crumbs. I put the crumbs in the bottom of the pan, and pressed very soft ice cream into the crumbs. And continued with the recipe. I think this made it taste the the chocolate crumbs Dairy Queen uses in their cakes. Everyone that ate it loved it!

I have found them at Walmart and Kroger. Today my Kroger was out of them so I am going to try Keebler Deluxe Grahams.

In reply to Stella.

I put a layer of parchment paper on the bottom of my pan then did the chocolate cookie crumb crust.  It works perfect.
