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 vegan chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreo, Trader Joe's, 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. I find that a really fine crumb works best, so make sure they're quite small 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.
