Preparation

Step 1

1. In medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and butter; mix well. Press into 9-inch springform pan, covering bottom and sides to form crust. Chill until ready to use.

2. In small bowl, beat eggs and egg yolks; set aside. In medium saucepan, melt chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly. Slowly add egg mixture, quickly whisking until well blended. Remove from heat; set aside to cool slightly.

3. Meanwhile, in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add confectioners' sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.

4. Fold whipped cream into slightly cooled chocolate mixture until well blended. Spoon into prepared crust; cover and chill at least 6 hours, or until firm.

Notes:

To make this extra special, serve each slice topped with some fresh whipped cream and chocolate-dipped strawberry. Wow!
