Press the crumbs into the bottom and sides of a 9" pie plate. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Make the filling while the crust bakes.
Filling

- Return the pie to the oven and bake until the filling is set, about 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate several hours or overnight.
Assembly
- Whip 12 oz heavy cream with 1 oz confectioner's sugar and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Pipe or spread the cream onto the filling.
- Refrigerate until serving, serve chilled.
