How to Make Cocoa Graham Cracker Crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before adding your pie filling. For best results, chill the crust completely in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before filling.
