I noticed in some cheesecake threads that people make a crust out of tea biscuits. I wanted to try this for a chocolate mousse pie instead of graham crackers. Do I need to cook the crust first or just press it into the pan. The mouse will obviously not be baked afterwards.

You can do a no-bake version if you won't bake the mousse... but mostly the ones that have crumbs, margarine, sugar, and vanilla, are baked for a few minutes to make it crispy. otherwise, it remains crumbly and the mousse might merge with it.

When I use tea biscuits for a crust, I dip each one in a soy milk/coffee mixture and line the pan with them that way. Then they soften up with the filling etc.

Do you think the soaking method will be good with a mushy filling like mousse?

I was going to make that "healthy" mousse with tofu and melted chocolate. I made it once before and it came out good-with a mousse consistancy.

Don't soak, just dip.
