Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs 🍪
- 1/4 cup butter, melted 🧈
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions:
-
Mix ingredients until thoroughly blended.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. The mixture should resemble coarse sand and hold together when pressed.
-
Press into a 9″ pie pan.
- Take the crumb mixture and firmly press it into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Ensure that the crust is evenly distributed and pressed firmly to create a solid base for your pie.
-
Bake at 375°F degrees for 8 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once preheated, place the pie shell in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes, or until the crust is set and just beginning to brown around the edges. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-baking.
-
Cool and fill as desired.
- Remove the pie shell from the oven and allow it to cool completely before filling it with your favorite pie filling. Whether you’re making a creamy chocolate mousse, a luscious fruit filling, or a silky custard, this chocolate crumb pie shell is the perfect base for your creation.
-
Serve and enjoy!
- Slice the pie, serve it on plates, and watch as your friends and family delight in every decadent bite. Pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
Tips:
- For the chocolate cookie crumbs, you can use store-bought chocolate graham crackers or chocolate sandwich cookies. Simply crush them into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a resealable plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- Make sure to press the crumb mixture firmly into the pie pan to create a sturdy crust that won’t crumble when sliced.
- Allow the pie shell to cool completely before filling it to prevent the filling from melting or becoming too runny.
- Experiment with different fillings to create endless flavor combinations. From classic chocolate pudding to tangy lemon curd, the possibilities are endless!
- Store any leftover pie shell in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Alternatively, you can freeze the pie shell for up to 3 months. Just thaw it in the refrigerator before using.
Now, with this Chocolate Crumb Pie Shell recipe in hand, you’re ready to embark on a culinary adventure that’s sure to impress. So go ahead, gather your ingredients, and let the baking begin! 🎉
