I gave up trying to locate the kind of "chocolatey biscuit" that I wanted & settled for the good ol' American oreo crust! However, I did make this in a 9-inch springform pan & packed all the filling into it before going on to top it with a very rounded measure of Cadbury chocolate flakes ~ Yes, my ingredient sleuth managed to find that one for me, at least! Somehow I managed to get 12 servings out of this outrageously rich pie! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my group mates in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #30]

I live in South Africa and this recipe used to be on the Romany Creams box 10 years ago. I loved it back then and recently thought of making it. The recipe is no longer on the box so thanks for putting it online for me to find. My tweak was to toast some almond slivers on a dry non stick pan and adding it to the base. And then a good sprinkling just before serving. It adds a lovely crunch to the pie!
