For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate for the topping. If you don't have custard powder, you can substitute with cornstarch (but the flavor won't be quite the same). Ensure the base is firmly packed to prevent it from crumbling. For easier cutting, warm a large knife under hot water and wipe dry before each cut.
