Melt chocolate. Be careful to let it just melt, since you are adding eggs, which will because cooked if the Cholate is too hot.

Separate 4 eggs. Put egg white separately, to be whipped.

If chocolate is still melting, can beat egg whites until foamy, and stiff. (Form peaks when you pull the beaters out.)

Stir in the egg yolks, and remaining 2 whole eggs.

Add the alcohol, if desired.

Fold in beaten egg whites.

Whip the whipping cream, until stiff.

Fold the whipped cream into the mixture.

Pour this mixture into the springform pan, on top of the crust.
