Poor the melted chocolate into a bowl, next add the egg yolks and mix with mixer, then add one third of the stiff egg yolks and one third whipping cream and mix until light brown and smooth. Next add the rest of the egg yolks and whipping cream, instead of mixing, fold over and stir with spatula. Now pour the mousse (everything you just mixed) into the crust, and put in fridge over night.
