nah that wouldn't work
they wouldn't be crumbly and would probably go to soft when the chocolate mix is added
but the idea of chocolate and orange is nice

yeah
you bash the amoretti biscuits and they go in the tin base
then add the chocolate mix which is basically chocolate, cream, rum, glucose so moist but it "sets"

then when you serve you turn it out so the crunchy biscuit crumbs are on the top

Hmmm... Not sure what to use... Ginger nuts will also go soggy I'd say.

think they are more stable
the amoretti are OK and I'd say ginger nuts are firmer

whereas a jakka cake is cake so would go soft

By the way, they are amaretti, from amaro = bitter. Although I like amoretti! Amore = love :)
