Tips:
- Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich chocolate flavor.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and prevent it from sticking to your hands.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
- Don't over-bake the crust. It should be golden brown around the edges and still slightly soft in the center.
- Let the crust cool completely before filling it. This will help prevent the filling from seeping into the crust and making it soggy.
