Perhaps instead of just prebaking your crust, you should fully bake the crust until it's golden brown. Check out the tips in this article on our blog about blind baking for details on timing and temperature. Another approach you can try is fully baking your pie crust, letting it cool, and then spreading a bit of melted chocolate on the bottom and up the sides. This works along the same lines of using an egg wash to line the crust. It creates a barrier between the crust and the creamy filling and hopefully keeps things crisp! Kye@KAF
