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

  • 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 cocoa powder. Use a high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for the best flavor. Dutch-process cocoa powder will give you a darker, richer crust.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the crust to set and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the crust at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Let the crust cool completely before filling it. This will prevent the filling from making the crust soggy.

Conclusion:

A cocoa crumb crust is a delicious and versatile crust that can be used for a variety of pies and tarts. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy crust, give this cocoa crumb crust a try!
