            Crust-----
   1 1/4 c  Chocolate Wafer Crumbs
     1/2 c  Melted Butter -- or
            Margarine
            Mousse-----
       8 oz Semisweet Chocolate --
            Finely ground
       1 oz Unsweetened Chocolate --
            Finely ground
       4 oz Heavy Whipping Cream
       6 tb Unsalted Butter
       2    Eggs -- separated
            Bailey's Irish Cream --
            Optional
  
   CRUST:
   
   Add butter to crumbs just until it will hold its shape when pressed
   into a pan. I'm sorry but I've never bothered to measure the butter!
   
   MOUSSE:
   
   Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks forms.  Set aside. Heat the
   cream and butter in a heavy saucepan or double boiler over medium
   heat. When the butter is well-incorporated into the cream, add the
   chocolates. Stir off the heat until melted and well-blended. Add the
   egg yolks.
   
   Quickly fold 1/4 of the chocolate mixture into the beaten whites,
   then fold the whites into the chocolate.
   
   Fill the crust with the filling and refrigerate several hours. If you
   like you may add Bailey's Irish Cream to the filling to flavour and
   whip cream with a tiny bit of sugar and some Frangelico liqueur.
   Amaretto for the whipping cream is also nice. It's just a decadent
   final touch to an alread-decadent dessert.
