  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.
