What about Rich Tea biscuits ... here we use something called Marie
biscuits
to make that kind of crust ... and those are something like Rich Tea (but
not as nice!)

According to the label on my pack -

Ingredients: Hardened Coconut Oil, Soya Bean Lecithin
Classified as "Vegetable Shortening"

White, sets hard when chilled. Cutting the butter with copha in a crumb
base gives a "harder" more solid base that cuts better into slices.

Do you guys ever make chocolate crackles from Kellogg's Rice Bubbles? Copha
is the stuff we melt to mix it. You probably know it by another name.

The filling sounds gorgeous, but I need a translation about the pie
crust.

At first I thought it was a pastry shell, but on re-reading think it
must be one of thos wizzed up biscuits and butter ones.

I know Oreos are chocolate flavoured biscuits, but have never met
Grahams Crackers. Here cream crackers are a very dry biscuit for
cheese - ooops, have just realised that your biscuits are called
crackers, and your biscuits are a sort of scone, so now I'm even more
confused! It can't be a 'for cheese' variety.....

Or am I completely confused and its some ready made shell you buy?


Rich tea biscuits. Put them in a big plastic bag and bash with a
rolling pin. Works for me.

I think from earlier discussions on the group it is 'Australian' and
not available overseas.

Warp Drive Chocolate Pie

12 oz bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
5 egg yolks (no whites)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons brandy or other liquor (try Gran Marnier)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 Graham cracker or Oreo Cookie pie crust - 8"

Put first 4 ingredients in a blender. Blend on low 1 minute. Heat the 1
1/2 cups heavy cream just to boiling. Pour into blender. Blend on high for
1 minute. Pour into crust. Chill for at least 3 hours uncovered in the
refrigerator.
The hot cream melts the chocolate and cooks the eggs. This recipe is VERY
rich. The slices should be about 1" wide. Can't eat much more than that.
Try drizzling with a raspberry sauce right before serving. I gave this
recipe to a friend of mine in the UK. He served it to several members of
the House of Lords. He said it was the first time any of them commented on
anything he'd ever served them.

Merry Xmas to all.
Frank Reid

Okay, I just made this and put it in the refrigerator. I need to
keep my strength up for my exams!
