Mrs Rowes Chocolate Cookie Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Put the cookies in the container of a food processor; process them until they are finely ground.
• Transfer crumbs to a mixing bowl; combine crumbs, butter, salt, and vanilla; stir until the crumbs are moistened.
• Press mixture evenly across the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate and all the way up the sides of the pan; pack tightly so crust is even and compacted.
• Bake in a 350° oven for 6-8 minutes or until crisp.
• Let cool completely before filling.
• May wrap crust in plastic wrap and freeze for 1 month.

Steps:

• Mix crumbs and melted butter or margarine until well blended. Press into an 8 or 9 inch pie plate. Chill until firm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Whisk sugar, flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Pour melted butter into the mixture and stir to incorporate. Press dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
• Bake crust in preheated oven until the sides are firm and the bottom bubbles slightly, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Crumble the cookies into the work bowl of a food processor and process until finely ground. Alternatively, you can put them in a bag and whack them with a rolling pin until finely crushed. Pour the butter into the crumbs and mix (hands are best for this) until the butter is fully incorporated and the texture is that of wet sand. Firmly press the crumbs against the sides of a 9-inch (23-cm) pie pan, then against the bottom of the pan (the underside of a measuring cup works well for smoothing the bottom crust). Chill the crust for at least 15 minutes to help prevent it from crumbling when serving.
• Bake the crust for 10 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove it and allow it to cool before filling.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF.
• Combine crumbs and butter; mix well.
• Firmly and evenly press mixture into a 9" or 10" pie plate.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust darkens to a deeper (almost black) brown color.
• Cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before filling.

Steps:

• Make the crust:.
• In a bowl stir together the cookie crumbs and the butter until the mixture is combined well and pat the mixture onto the bottom and 1/2 inch up the side of a 9 1/2-inch spring form pan. Chill the crust for 30 minutes.
• Make the filling:.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy, add the sugar gradually, beating, and beat the mixture until it is combined well. Beat in the flour, add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in the sour cream, the zests, the salt, and the vanilla, beating the filling until it is combined well.
• Pour the filling into the crust and bake the cheesecake in a foil-lined shallow baking pan in the middle of the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes. (The cheesecake will not be completely set; it will set as it cools.) Turn the oven off and let the cheesecake stand in the oven with the oven door propped open about 6 inches until it is cooled completely and remove the side of the pan.
• Arrange the raspberries on top of the cheesecake in a star shape and arrange the blueberries around the star to cover the top of the cheesecake.
