Preparing the Deep-Dish Crust
The deep-dish crust is an essential element of the Deep-Dish Double Chocolate Mocha Pudding Pie, providing a buttery and flaky base for the rich pudding filling.
This simple and straightforward process is perfect for those with basic baking skills and takes about 15 minutes to prepare, making it an easy step in the overall pie-making process.
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made deep-dish pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (if homemade)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (if homemade)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced (if homemade)
- 1/4 cup sugar (if homemade)
- 1-2 tablespoons ice water (if homemade)
Cooking Steps:
- If using a store-bought pie crust, simply remove it from the packaging and place it in a pie dish, crimping the edges as desired.
- For a homemade crust, combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Add the diced butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, stirring until the dough comes together. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit your pie dish, and transfer it carefully.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom of the crust. If you have pie weights, line the crust with parchment paper and fill with weights. If not, you can bake without weights, but be mindful of bubble formation.
- Bake the crust for about 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool before adding your chocolate mocha pudding filling.
