How to Make a Chocolate Pie Crust

Chocolate pie crust is very good. Great for when you want something a little different.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick or 1/2 cup butter, cold
• 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon water
• 4 teaspoons cocoa powder
• 4 teaspoon sugar

1. Wash your hands well. Mix the flour, cocoa powder, and sugar in a small bowl. Set it aside.

2. Put the cold butter in another bowl. Cut the butter into tiny pieces with a knife and fork.

3. Now add the flour mixture to the bowl with the cut up butter. With your hands, start mixing them together. Squish it between your fingers. Have fun!

4. Start adding the water, little by little. Again, mix well with your hands. Squish it together.

5. Now, turn the dough onto a floured surface. Knead it with your hands by folding it over, turning it one quarter turn, and folding it again. Keep doing this until it's smooth and round, without any lumps.

6. Roll the dough flat until it makes a circle that's a little bigger than your pie pan. Roll the dough onto the rolling pin and then unroll it across the top of your pie pan. Cut off the rough edges around the edge of the pan.
