Directions
TO MAKE CRUST: Process chocolate wafers in blender or food processor to make 1½ cups fine crumbs (or place wafers in plastic bag and crush with rolling pin).
Combine crumbs with butter and vanilla; stir until blended.
Press mixture onto bottom and up sides of 9-inch tart or pie pan.
Bake at 375℉ (190℃). for 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
TO MAKE FILLING: Microwave chocolate morsels and ½ cup whipping cream in microwavable bowl on HIGH for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Cool to room temperature.
With electric mixer, beat remaining whipping cream on high speed, gradually adding sugar, until soft peaks form.
Stir ⅓ whipped cream into chocolate mixture.
With rubber spatula, gently fold remaining whipped cream into chocolate mixture.
Turn mixture into crust.
Chill 3 hours or until set.
Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.
