Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x9x2-inch pan with nonstick foil, extending foil beyond edges of pan.
CRUST - In a bowl, stir crushed cookies, melted butter and sugar, until combined. Press into bottom of prepared pan. Refrigerate while making filling.
FILLING - In a saucepan, whisk cornstarch and sugar. Stir in milk and egg. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until smooth, steaming and slightly thickened, about 4 minutes.
