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.

Try condensed milk in the crumb mix too instead of copha. Works a treat

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. But I
normally cut down on the butter and add some copha to get a nice hard set
shell. This is easier to cut in slices without crumbling, and it holds

firm
outside the fridge better. It also cuts down on the rich buttery taste.

I
add nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, icing sugar and/or coconut - depending on the
filling. And for my fabulous creme de menthe pie I add cocoa and coconut
for a beautiful dark choc base with the lovely light green creamy filling.

There is nothing politically or medically correct about my desert

cooking!!!

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?

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.

Or whizz in the food processor - much less effort dear, and less chance of
spilling the beverage we all must sip whilst we bake

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

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.

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.

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

It is so funny to me that with all the technical advances that have brought
us together, we still have a language barrier. (grin)

Will try - I think I feel a "cooking" spree coming on. Most of my deserts
do not require baking these days - LOL!

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.

That might work: I think the digestive biscuits might be sweet enough to
substitute, but I think they are not as fine grained as graham crackers
are. But what the heck, you're smashing them up anyway
