As a kid, this was our "we're having people over for dinner so pull out the stops" recipe. I don't know where my mom got this one, but it is good, good, good! You will never regret the calories in this dessert, I promise!

One 9 oz. box Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers, crumbled
1/3 cup margarine
Filling:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 egg yolks, beaten
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
2 egg whites, whipped
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
¾ cup chopped pecans, roasted
1.Mix chocolate wafer crumbs and margarine in a bowl until evenly moist. Pour into 9-inch springform pan and press evenly onto the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake at 325° for 8-10 minutes, being careful not to burn.
2.Blend cream cheese with ¼ cup sugar & vanilla. Stir in egg yolks, chocolate and nuts.
3. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until white & foamy with soft peaks. Gradually add remaining ½ cup white sugar into whites while beating. Fold egg white mixture into chocolate mixture.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the cream & then fold into the chocolate mixture.
