Step 1
Place 1-ounce of chocolate in a microwave-proof measuring cup. Microwave for about 25 seconds on high. Add butter and microwave on high for about 20 seconds more, just until butter is melting. Remove and stir the mixture. (Note: Microwaves vary in temperature control. It's advised to start slowly when melting ingredients. If you prefer, melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler.)Step 2
If chocolate isn't melting continue to microwave for 10 seconds until melted. Add gluten-free graham crackers, brown cane sugar, and nutmeg. Stir to completely combine ingredients.Step 3
Press the mixture into the 9-inch springform pan or pie plate. If using a springform pan, use a spatula, spoon or your fingers to work the crumb crust up the sides of the pan about 3/4 - 1-inch.Step 4
Chill in refrigerator until firm. If you aren't planning to fill the crust immediately tightly wrap and freeze for convenience.
