  TO MAKE CRUST:  Process chocolate wafers in blender or food processor
  to make 1 1/2 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 degrees F. for 10 minutes.  Cool on
  wire rack.
  TO MAKE FILLING:  Microwave chocolate morsels and 1/2 cup whipping
  cream in microwavable bowl on HIGH (100%) for 1 to 2 minutes,
  stirring every 30 seconds [Iris' note:  IMPT TO DO !!], 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 1/3
  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.
