*I like to buy the cheap ones that are "assorted", meaning you can make chocolate crusts, light-colored crusts, etc. This really is a lot easier than making graham-cracker crumb crusts, and a lot cheaper than buying one in the store. A pre-made 9" crust costs $1.99, a Value-Pack of Assorted Cookies costs $1.89. Not a significant difference you say? Maybe, but the crust only takes 7-8 cookies. There are enough cookies in the pack to make 8 pies. that means you pay less than 25 cents per pie crust, that's over 750% off the price of a pre-made pie crust!

Looks delicious. I've never really used chocolate pie crusts. :P

Very cool idea, quick and yeah it's probably alot cheaper than buying pre-made crusts. I think if the crust looks a little hard you could incorporate a few tsps of butter into the mix before you spread it in the pie pan.

You don't really need to add any butter, because the cream filling provides plenty of moisture and adhesiveness.

Yeah--I've done that with Cheesecakes in my Dutch oven. It works great and then you don't have to add the saturated fat filled butter (I mean--it's unhealthy enough already, it's best not to take it to extremes :P). I've actually found that it dishes out of the pan better using just the cream and no butter.

Wait.

Chocolate pie crust?

So you don't need to ask any moisture added to the cookies cuz of the cream? Brilliant! Thanks for sharing this. :)
