Prep Time

Preparation time for this recipe is approximately 10 minutes.

Cook Time

Cooking time for this recipe is approximately 10-12 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup of cold water

Equipment

  • Food processor or mixing bowl and pastry cutter
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Parchment paper

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If you're using a food processor, add the flour, cocoa powder, and sugar to the bowl of the processor and pulse a few times to combine. If you're using a mixing bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, and sugar together.
  3. Add the cold butter to the bowl of the food processor or mixing bowl, and pulse or use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  4. Add the cold water a little bit at a time, pulsing or mixing until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  6. Place the rolled-out dough into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough from the edges.
  7. Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork.
  8. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans.
  9. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is set.
  10. Remove the parchment paper and pie weights or beans, and let the crust cool completely before using it in your favorite pie recipe.

Notes

  • If you don't have a food processor, you can make this crust by using a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Then, gradually add the water and knead the dough until it comes together.
  • This recipe makes enough dough for one 9-inch pie crust. If you need a top crust as well, double the recipe.
  • If the dough is too dry, add more water a teaspoon at a time until it comes together.
