Chocolate Crumb Crust

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Position the oven rack in the lower
third of the oven. Butter the baking pan very well. Dust a 9-inch
glass pan with the cocoa and shake out any excess. Place the crumbs
and brown sugar in a food processor bowl. Process 20 to 30 seconds to
combine. Pour the crumb mixture into the melted butter and combine
with a fork. Empty the crumb mixture into the pan. Using a
tablespoon, press the crumbs firmly against the sides of the pan,
working them up to the rim to form an edge. Smooth the bottom with
the spoon. Lay a square of plastic wrap over the crumbs. Using a
smooth bottomed glass, press firmly against the plastic to smooth the
crumbs on the bottom. Press firmly at the bend because the crumbs
accumulate there. Remove the plastic wrap. Place the pie plate on a
sheet pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crumbs begin to
smell. The surface should feel set, but the bottom will not firm
until the shell cools. Let shell cool completely before filling.
