Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I love to start by preparing the crust. In my mixing bowl, I combine the chocolate cookie crumbs with the melted butter until everything is well mixed, resembling damp sand. Then, I firmly press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan, creating a nice even layer. Pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set while we work on the decadent filling. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
