School chocolate pie from the 70s

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Hi All,
I'd love to have the recipe for a pie we used to get at school.
It was shortcrust sweet pastry with a light, milk chocolate filling. Like a mousse but denser.
Chocolate torte is definitely not it and I've never found it since.
Thanks in advance.

Was it called cabbage pie by any chance?

Could be Gypsy tart .That's the one we used to have .

I honestly can't remember.
It wasn't overly sweet and it was quite light.
I blummin loved it though and I'd love to recreate it.

Welcome to AB. Like the name. I remember Fat Larry.

Thank you Shaneystar but it's not gypsy tart.

I would like to add an exception though. Spam fritters ming.

I had that song on a tape...taped off the charts on the radio.
It also had Do you really want to hurt me by culture club, Pass the Dutchie by Musical Youth, something by Japan and something by Siouxsie and the Banshees I think, but I can't remember what.
