Let’s walk through the steps of this recipe together, and don’t forget to watch the video.

Make the pie crust

If you are not using a store-bought crust, you must begin by making the pie crust because it has to chill for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. I often prepare the crust a day in advance.

Begin by combining flour, salt and sugar in the container of a food processor fitted with the โ€œSโ€ blade, pulse to combine.

Next, dump the dough out onto a large surface and gather together and form a flat round disc.

Then, wrap the dough in saran wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

You can also make the dough in a bowl by hand using a pastry cutter, fork or your hands to cut in the butter and add the water.

Put the formed crust into the refrigerator to chill while you make the filling.

  1. Have you ever tried – or is there a way to make this with a chocolate crust? Maybe a brownie crust or could you use a chocolate graham cracker crust? Since it has to bake with the chocolate chip pie in it, I didn’t know if the chocolate graham cracker crust would work.
