This turns out tasting like Oreo cookie crumbs! VERY nice compliment to any filling of your choice. In my photo it shows Cassie's Peanut butter pie for the filling. You can use any cocoa, I just like the Dark for this recipe. Absolutely amazing!

Categories     Pies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/3 c graham cracker crumbs
1 c powdered sugar
2/3 c special dark cocoa powder
3/4 c melted unsalted butter (one and a half sticks)

Steps:

  • 1. Grind up your graham crackers, two packs. (I use my food processor)You will have a little left over to sprinkle around your pies. Using a whisk, mix together the first three ingredients then add your melted butter using a fork. Evenly pour the crumbs into two 8" pie plates. Press firmly on the sides using your hands then press with a small round cup for a firmer crust.
  • 2. Bake @ 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool completely before filling.
  • 3. To make this pie: 1) prepare the crust as directed above. 2) cassie's creamy dreamy Peanut butter pie 3) top with Chocolate ganache: 1 cup heavy whipping cream heated up (not to a boil) then add 1 1/3 cups REAL simi sweet chocolate chips. Whisk until smooth and creamy then pour over pies, spread evenly then place in frig.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to finely grind the graham crackers into crumbs. This will help the crust to be more cohesive and less crumbly.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can place the graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or meat mallet.
  • Be sure to measure the melted butter accurately. Too much butter will make the crust too greasy, while too little butter will make it too dry.
  • Press the crust firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking.
  • If you are making a no-bake pie, be sure to chill the crust before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • If you are using a regular oven to bake the crust, be sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the crust. This will help to ensure that the crust is evenly baked.
  • Keep the pie crust refrigerated until ready to use.

Conclusion:

The cocoa graham cracker crust is a delicious and versatile pie crust that can be used for a variety of pies and desserts. It is easy to make and can be made in advance, making it a great option for busy home cooks. With its chocolatey flavor and crunchy texture, the cocoa graham cracker crust is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
