BEAT 8 egg yolks until they become thick and lemon-colored; gradually adding sugar. Beat chocolate mixture into egg mixture, beating constantly. Add vanilla. BEAT egg whites until stiff but not dry. Add salt. Stir a quarter of the egg whites into chocolate mixture. Gently fold in remaining whites, until well blended. GREASE a 9-nch pie plate and fill with half the mousse mixture, spreading to reach the edges. Bake 25 minutes, then turn off oven and leave mousse in oven an extra 5 minutes. REMOVE from oven and cool on wire racks for 2 hours. MEANWHILE, cover and refrigerate remainingmousse. When shell has cooled, fill with chilled mousse.

Just before serving, decorate with a lattice made from pareve (non-dairy) whip. SERVES 8. From An Article: Passover Medley by Cynthia David - 12 April, 1995
