Warp Drive Chocolate Pie
Thanks everyone. I also had a thought that the digestive biscuits made
to have with cheese (ie not so sweet) might be a good substitute. -- Sally at the Seaside~~~~~~~ http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin |

Warp Drive Chocolate Pie
Try condensed milk in the crumb mix too instead of copha. Works a treat

Sally We don't have them either. But basically any "plain" sweet biscuit (biscuit as the British Commonwealth would know it - LOL) will do. I often use a crumb base for my unbaked cheesecakes and pies but I usually make it up on the day. Biscuits and butter is the basic mix.

It also cuts down on the rich buttery taste. I add nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, icing sugar and/or coconut - depending on the filling.

Or whizz in the food processor - much less effort dear, and less chance of
spilling the beverage we all must sip whilst we bake -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html (takes a while to load) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos (same as website but quicker) "Johanna Gibson" wrote in message news On Fri, 2 Dec 2005 18:16:14 +0000 (UTC), Sally Swindells wrote: The filling sounds gorgeous, but I need a translation about the pie crust.

"Rita in MA" wrote in message ... Unless you have an allergy to nuts, why not try crushed walnuts or pecans instead of graham cracker crumbs? I'm thinking that I might try it that way myself. Rita L. I've done the vanilla wafer crust thing for Cheesecake before. It's not too bad. But I'm going to try it the way it's written first. Cindy |

Hi Sally, Here is a link to a photo of graham crackers.

Biscuits are biscuits and scones are biscuits that have sugar and fruit in,
and what y'all are CALLING biscuits are actually cookies. Crackers are generally salty/grain things you put cheese on. I believe the cookie you refer to for making this crust is what we would call either a butter cookie or a sugar cookie. L "Cheryl in Oz" cawaitesATnetconnectDOTcomDOTau wrote in message ...

But what the heck, you're smashing them up anyway liz young in cool california |
