Chocolate Cookie Crust
This easy chocolate cookie pie crust recipe is ready in 10 minutes and does not require any pre-baking before using the pie filling of your choice. Makes 1 standard size pie crust
Ingredients
- 1 package organic chocolate cookies (not soft baked)
- 1/3 cup grassfed butter
- 1/3 cup expeller pressed coconut oil
Instructions
-
If you've purchased organic chocolate sandwich cremes, break apart each cookie and scrape off the filling. Discard the filling. If you purchased plain chocolate cookies (this brand is the best), proceed to the next step.
-
Place filling-free chocolate cookies in food processor and pulse until only crumbs remain.
-
Pour chocolate cookie crumbs into a clean glass pie plate.
-
Mix melted grassfed butter and expeller pressed coconut oil with the cookie crumbs using a spoon.
-
Use a large spoon or clean hands to press the chocolate cookie mixture evenly over the base of the pie plate and up the sides to form a uniform crust.
-
Put in the freezer for an hour or so until firm and then add filling of choice.
Recipe Notes
I don’t recommend aluminum pie plates unless you plan to line them with unbleached parchment paper so the pie crust does not come into contact with the aluminum. This is especially important when you are cutting the pie as scratching the aluminum is what releases it into the food.
