Preparation

Step 1

Combine the flour, cocoa, salt and butter into a food processor and pulse until it's crumbly. Next add one tablespoon at a time {about 2-3 depending}, pulsing after each addition until it forms in to large clumps and resembles coarse wet sand.

Form into a round disc and wrap into plastic wrap or place into a quart-size re-sealable bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let it rest.

Roll out dough evenly. Carefully roll the dough around your rolling pin and carefully lay it over either a 9 inch pie plate or a round tart pan.

If making a pie, trim the edges and leave an inch overhang. Fold the inch overhang underneath to form a rim and crimp with fingertips.
