Easy Chocolate Pie Crust Recipe

Vegan cheesecake in chocolate crust with cocoa powder topping

Use vegan chocolate cookies to make a quick and easy vegan chocolate pie crust. Oreo's or Trader Joe's brand vegan sandwich cookies work well in this easy recipe. No pre-baking is needed. This is a delicious vegan chocolate pie crust recipe, but don't say I ever claimed it was healthy! At least it's cholesterol-free, though!

Scroll down for a few vegan pie and vegan cheesecake recipes that go well with this chocolate cookie crust.

Ingredients:

  • 25 chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreo or a generic brand will work fine)
  • 1/3 cup margarine, melted

Preparation:

Process the cookies in a food processor until they turn into crumbs. Add the melted margarine to the cookies and stir until well combined.

Using your hands or the back of a large spoon, press the mixture into a pie pan.

Chill before using.

Wasn't that the easiest chocolate pie crust recipe ever, vegan or not? Enjoy!

Good, but could improve., Member FlamingoTrigger

It probably didn't help that I didn't use a food processor, and therefore my cookies weren't as finely crushed as they could have been, but the consistency was definitely -not- thick enough to press into the pie pan for the crust. It's easy to correct this, though, if you use a little bit less butter, or refrigerate it before pressing it into the pan. The latter method worked really well for me. All in all, a good recipe, super simple, accomplishes exactly what it needs, tastes good.
