Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tbsp sugar, and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened and hold together when pressed. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the crust is set and lightly golden at the edges. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes, until the gelatin has absorbed the water and the surface looks wrinkled and firm.
