Making a Chocolate Crumb Crust is so simple and makes such a delicious alternative to a plain pie crust. You just buy dairy-free chocolate tea biscuits, crush them with a rolling pin or use a food processor and mix them with the remaining ingredients. Press the chocolate mixture into a pie shell and bake for 15 minutes. Voila! You have a Chocolate Crumb Crust that you can fill with any number of pre-cooked fillings. Try Pumpkin Chiffon Pie in a chocolate crust. It gives this tried-and-true pie a whole new personality.
