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.
