Step 1
Prepare the crust. There are lots of possibilities: You might buy a ready made crust or dough that you can roll out in a circle shape. You can even bake a brownie mix in a round pizza pan for a yummy chocolate crust. Cookie dough crusts made from roll out sugar cookie dough found in the refrigerator section of the grocery store also work well. Here’s a recipe for an easy but tasty shortbread crust: Cream 1 cup margarine, softened with 1/2 cup granulated sugar until fluffy. Stir in 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Chill dough several hours; divide in half. Roll out into circles on floured surface. Bake at 300 degrees 30 minutes or until golden brown.
