Just Add | Prepare |
•1 packet of oatmeal biscuits, crushed • 3 1/2 oz / 100 gm butter • 1 block/ 11 oz/ 300 gm chocolate • 1 oz/30 gm butter • 1/2 can/5 1/2 oz/ 150gm condensed milk • 1 ts gelatin, dissolved • (Optional) 1/4 cup rum
|
• Make the crumb crust by crushing the biscuits in a zip lock bag till it becomes fine crumbs. I've found it easiest to put half a packet of biscuits into a zip lock bag, place it on a heavy chopping board and then use the bottom of a heavy saucepan to crush the bag of biscuits. It soon becomes a bag of fine crumbs. • Melt butter in a saucepan. Take it off the heat and combine the biscuit crumbs to the butter. The mixture will form a ball when pressed. If it does not, add more melted butter. Do not substitute with oil • Press the crumb mixture into a greased spring form tin. Use your fingers to press it in firmly. • Pop it in the freezer to chill while you are making the chocolate filling • In a saucepan on moderate heat, melt butter and chocolate. Take it off the heat as soon the butter and chocolate has melted. Stir in the condensed milk • Add in dissolved gelatin. Combine • Add rum, if you choose. I find children find the taste of rum too strong and prefer the pie without liqueur • Pour the chocolate mixture into the crumb crust • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours |
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Now, how simple was that!
If you don't have a spring form tin, press the crumb crust into a ceramic pie dish.
Oatmeal biscuits crumb much easier than other plain sweet biscuits.
I choose not to use a food processor as this only creates washing up. Using my method, it's done just as quickly without the work of washing up.
