CHOCOLATE CRUMB CRUST

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert     No-Cook     Bon Appétit     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes one 9-inch Crust

Number Of Ingredients 4

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 ounce bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
30 chocolate wafer cookies

Steps:

  • Spray 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish with nonstick spray. Stir butter and chocolate in heavy small saucepan over low heat until melted. Finely grind cookies in processor. Add chocolate mixture. Process until crumbs are moistened. Press crumb mixture into prepared pie dish. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate wafers. This will ensure that your crust has a rich, chocolatey flavor. You can find chocolate wafers in the baking aisle of most grocery stores.
  • Pulse the wafers until they are finely ground. This will help to create a smooth, even crust. If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the wafers in a blender or by hand using a rolling pin.
  • Add melted butter or oil to the wafer crumbs. This will help to hold the crust together. The amount of butter or oil you need will depend on the type of wafers you are using. If you are using a chocolate wafer that is already coated in butter, you may not need to add any additional butter.
  • Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a pie plate or springform pan. Make sure the crust is evenly packed and that there are no cracks or holes.
  • Chill the crust before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Chocolate wafer crumb crust is a versatile and delicious way to add a sweet and chocolatey touch to your favorite pies, tarts, and cheesecakes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious chocolate wafer crumb crust that will impress your friends and family.
