Tips for Making a Chocolate Tart Crust

  1. Try Cacao Powder instead of Cocoa for a light chocolate taste and soft brown color.
  2. Use the back of a spoon and your fingertips to gently press into the bottom and sides of the pan.
  3. Make the crust slightly thicker on the sides than across the bottom.
  4. Poke holes across the bottom layer with a fork before baking.
  5. Chill for 10-15 minutes before placing in the oven.
  6. Let crust cool completely before adding filling.
