Instructions

Combine the alcohol and cold water in a measuring cup and freeze it while preparing other ingredients.
Add flour and salt into a food processor bowl and freeze for 5-10 minutes along with cubed butter.
Pulse the flour mixture and cubed butter in the food processor until pea-sized chunks form.
With the processor running, add the water mixture gradually until the dough holds together when pressed.
Shape the dough, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for one hour.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Roll out the pie crust and place it in a pie pan.
Cover the crust with parchment paper and fill it with weights or dry beans.
Bake for 20 minutes, remove weights, and brush egg wash on the crust. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden.
Cool the crust completely before preparing the filling.

Notes

Make sure the butter for the crust is cold for a flaky texture.
Tent the crust edges with foil if they brown too quickly during baking.
For a smoother filling, let the chocolate cool slightly before mixing.
