I used this recipe as a pie crust for a no bake chocolate cheesecake and it turned out great. It was thicker than a regular crust but it was crisp and had a nice crumble. This was perfect. Thank you for this recipe!

In reply to Josh t. Hi Josh! A combination of both of those would work here. A little longer chill time and a touch more flour on the surface and on the rolling pin would probably work well. :)

Hi! I rolled the dough out and it was super soft and stuck to the rolling pin. Should I have chilled it longer or used a touch more flour?

In reply to Eric. Hi Eric! While I haven't tried it, I think it could work. You will want to chop the nuts up really small though. Let me know how it goes! :)

Hi Sam would it be ok if I added walnuts to this recipe, and if so would a cup sound about right?

Can’t wait to try these! I think it It should be noted that the better butters have more water processed our of them, so when using a low-moisture recipe, the chilling time is important for the ingredients to meld. This will also help with the crumbling when rolling out, as well as firming up the butter.

In reply to Sydney. Hi Sydney! If you want to use natural cocoa, you can, but the flavor is just not as rich and chocolatey. I hope you love these! :)

So pumped for a chocolate version! will natural cocoa powder substitute okay? I have 0 experience with Dutch process, but I could always try it if natural is a no-go. Thank you!!
