Description

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cup all-purpose Flour
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, if desired
• 1 stick ice-cold salted Butter, cut into pieces
• 2-3 tablespoons cold hot chocolate, brewed coffee or water, I used hot chocolate

Directions

• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and sugar.
• Add in chilled butter and cut into the flour using a pastry blender (my favorite kitchen tool), fork and a knife or just your fingers. Cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Slowly add cold hot chocolate and mix together using a fork and stir until dough becomes soft.
• Slightly knead the dough until it is smooth and them shape into a circular disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour (you can keep it in there up to 2 days).
• Remove dough from refrigerator and set out for 5-1o minutes at room temperature. Roll out the dough on a cocoa powder or floured surface and transfer to 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Making sure to trim the crust that is over hanging.
• Cover the crust with plastic wrap and set back in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before adding filling and/or baking.
