Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, let’s get that crust ready! I start by combining the crushed graham crackers, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Using a fork, I mix everything until it resembles wet sand. Once that’s done, I gently press it into my pie dish, making sure it’s evenly distributed and tightly packed down. Chilling in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes really helps it hold its shape well. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
