5.To make the chocolate mousse, melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water (don't let base of bowl touch the water). Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Cool slightly, then beat in the egg yolks (mixture may look seized at this stage, but it will come back together when you add the cream). Set aside to cool to room temperature, then in 2 batches, beat in half the whipped cream. Pour mousse over cheesecake, then chill for 4 hours, or until firm and set.
