Vegan Chocolate Crust

1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Newman-O's)

4 tbsp vegan margarine, melted

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

(If you make your own cookie crumbs, pulverize cookies in a blender or food processor; or place them in a ziploc bag (or use saran wrap or parchment paper) and roll into fine crumbs with a rolling pin. )

Mix the crumbs and margarine. Press the mixture onto the bottom and up the side of your pie plate, using your hand or the back of a spoon.

Bake crust 8 minutes; cool on wire rack.  (Note: If the recipe calls for an unbaked crumb crust, skip the baking step and just chill it in the refrigerator for an hour.)

Fill according to your recipe.
