Tips for Perfect Chocolate Crumb Crust:

  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Choose good-quality semisweet chocolate and fresh butter for the best flavor and texture.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent it from spreading too much and keeps the crust flaky.
  • Press the Dough Evenly: Use your fingers or a measuring cup to press the dough into the pie plate evenly and firmly to avoid any gaps.
  • Bake Blind: To prevent the crust from bubbling up, pre-bake it without the filling for about 10-12 minutes.
  • Cool Completely: Let the crust cool completely before filling it to avoid the filling from making the crust soggy.
