- In a medium bowl, combine ¾ cup (90g) all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons (20g) granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Cut in 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons (15g) of the melted chocolate.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
