Chocolate Silk Pie

Start by lightly greasing a 9-inch pie or tart pan with butter or ghee. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together all ingredients for the crust until a pliable dough is formed. Press the dough evenly into the pie pan and poke holes in the surface with a fork. This will keep the crust from bubbling up while baking. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then cool at room temperature for 15 minutes while preparing the filling.
