Categories     dessert

Time 10m

Yield 1 pie crust

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 crispy chocolate chip cookies, store-bought or homemade and overbaked (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Put the cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground; transfer to a bowl. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon and mix to combine. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the cookies are evenly coated with the butter.

If the pie you are preparing is baked, do not pre-cook the crust. Add the filling and cook the pie according to the recipe instructions.

CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST



Chocolate Cookie Crust image

Provided by Allison Kave

Categories     Bake     Chill

Yield Makes one 9-inch (23-cm) pie crust

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 1/2 cups (175 g) finely ground chocolate cookie crumbs
5 to 8 tablespoons (70 to 115 g) unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Crumble the cookies into the work bowl of a food processor and process until finely ground. Alternatively, you can put them in a bag and whack them with a rolling pin until finely crushed. Pour the butter into the crumbs and mix (hands are best for this) until the butter is fully incorporated and the texture is that of wet sand. Firmly press the crumbs against the sides of a 9-inch (23-cm) pie pan, then against the bottom of the pan (the underside of a measuring cup works well for smoothing the bottom crust). Chill the crust for at least 15 minutes to help prevent it from crumbling when serving.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove it and allow it to cool before filling.

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Crust:
30 Chocolate Wafer Cookies, homemade or store bought
1/2 Cup Melted Butter, 1 stick, cooled
1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 Teaspoon Almond Extract
Batter:
1 Pound Cream Cheese, TWO 8 oz bricks
1 Pint Sour Cream, 16 oz, 2 cups
1 Pound Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese, 16 oz, 2 cups
3 Large Eggs
1/2 Cup Melted Butter, cooled
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
3 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
1 Cup Mini Chocolate Chips

Steps:

  • COOKS NOTES: All dairy ingredients should be room temperature so they blend easily without lumps. MAKE THE CRUST: 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 10" springform cheesecake pan with cooking spray. Line with a parchment round; spray again lightly. Double wrap with foil to the top of the pan; press against the pan. 2. To the bowl of a large food processor, process all the crust ingredients; about 1 minute. The mixture should hold together when pinched. Press into the lined springform pan; go 1" up the sides. Use the flat end of a measuring cup. Bake 8-10 minutes on the middle rack of the oven. Remove and cool before adding the batter. PREPARE A WATER BATH: Fill a large roasting pan with 1" of water. Place the foil wrapped pan in the middle of the water bath. 1. MAKE THE BATTER: FOOD PROCESSOR METHOD: Add the cream cheese to the bowl of a 14-cup food processor. Pulse a few times just until smooth. 2. Add the sour cream and ricotta cheese and pulse a few more times until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl. 3. Add the eggs, melted (cooled) butter and vanilla extract. Process 30 seconds. 4. Add the sugar, cornstarch and flour. Process 1 minute until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl and process 30 seconds more. 5. Pour the batter directly into the pan in the water bath. Swirl 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips into the batter. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup. Bake at 325 degrees on the middle oven rack for about 1 hour; the center should still jiggle and the top should be lightly browned. Rotate the pan after each 30 minutes baked. Watch carefully after 45 minutes baking time. Remove the pan from the water bath. Remove the foil. Cool completely before storage. Refrigerate when cooled. This cheesecake is best made 1-2 days before serving.

MOCK CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST



Mock Chocolate Cookie Crust image

Tastes just like a chocolate wafer pie crust...but only has 5 ingredients as opposed to about 50! This is extremely easy and I promise you won't do more work than if you used chocolate cookies.

Provided by The Purple Baker

Categories     Desserts     Pies     100+ Pie Crust Recipes     Crumb Crusts

Time 15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ¼ cups white sugar
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
½ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Whisk sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Pour melted butter into the mixture and stir to incorporate. Press dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chocolate. A good quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will give your crust a rich, chocolatey flavor. Avoid using milk chocolate, as it will be too sweet.
  • Use cold butter. This will help to keep the crust firm and flaky. If you use softened butter, the crust will be more likely to spread and become greasy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour and make the crust tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking and cracking. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Bake the crust until it is golden brown. The crust should be firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
