No Roll Chocolate Pie Crust
No Roll Chocolate Pie Crust
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon ice water
Dice butter into small cubes. Place back in the refrigerator.
Place flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine.
Add the cold diced butter into the food processor. Pulse a few times until the butter is worked into the flour mixture.
Add 1 tablespoon of ice water. Let the food processor run for several seconds, until the dough becomes crumbly. If the dough seems too dry, add 1/2 teaspoon water and pulse a few more times. You can add another 1/2 teaspoon of water as needed. Just make sure it’s not too wet! The dough should be pinchable, but not dry or wet.
Pour crumbly dough into a 9” pie plate. Use your fingers to presss across the bottom and up the sides. Chill for at least one hour (or freeze for 10-15 minutes) before baking.
If making a baked pie shell for an unbaked filling: poke the very cold crust with the tines of a fork all over the bottom and sides. Bake at 400°F for about 8-10 minutes. Cool, then fill as directed.
If making a baked pie, fill chilled pie crust as directed and bake as the recipe directs.
