You don\u2019t want it to be too sweet but I will add a little more sugar\/vanilla if needed. Garnish with chocolate sahvings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Crust:<\/strong><br>Crush up the cookies and add 6 T. melted butter. Press it in the pan. Basically do this just as you would for vanilla wafers cookie crust.\u00a0 Usually I press the crust into the sides and bottom of springform pan but it can be put into pie pan or even 9\u00d711 or just about any pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put the chocolate and butter in a heat proof bowl and place over saucepan containing about 1\u2033 of barely simmering water (or use a double boiler). Stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and let cool slightly. With a whisk, beat the egg yolks into the chocolate adding them in one at a time until smooth. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat 1\/2 cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. In a Chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream until it begins to thicken up. Add the remaining 4 T sugar and the vanilla and continue beating until the cream holds soft peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you\u2019ve got all the elements prepared, put it all together. GENTLY \u2013 fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NEXT, FOLD the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture being careful not to over work the mousse or it will be heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spoon filling into the crust. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours to set.&nbsp; After it sets, put the topping on and garnish it with some chocolate shavings and it\u2019s ready to serve.
