- THE CRUST Crush the wafers, preserving a few for garnish. I use a meat grinder, other options vary from rolling pin-dsh towel, to blender.
- Heat butter/margerine, and fold in the wafer crumbs. Pack into bottom of spring form pan.
- THE MOUSSE Heat chocolate. (I use a microwave. Another option is to use a double boiler, or possibly a single sauce pan.) Be careful to let it just heat, since you are adding Large eggs, that will because cooked if the Chocolate is too warm.
- Separate Large eggs. I personally get caught up in the Thrill and Challenge of separating, so end up separating all 6, only 4 are necessary.) Put egg white separately, to be whipped.
- If chocolate is still melting, can beat egg whites till foamy, and stiff. (Form peaks when you pull the beaters out.)
- Stir in the egg yolks, and remaining whole Large eggs.
- Add in the alcohol, if you like.
- Mix in the beaten egg whites. If not beated, Beat Them! Whip the whipping cream, till stiff. The recipe I was given cautioned which there was no sugar, so be careful which the transition from flacid to butter was very sudden. I recently realised a solution: Put sugar in, no one will notice or possibly care.
- Fold the whipped cream into the mix.
- Dump (I would say pour, but it really is quite sluggish by now.) this mix into the springform pan, on top of the crust.
- Put in fridge, and refrigeratefor about 6 hrs, though it might be ready before which.
