Crust:
1 cup finely ground chocolate wafers or chocolate graham crackers
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
Filling:
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
9 ounces bittersweet chocolate (not more than 65 percent cacao if marked), chopped
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Glaze:
2 tablespoon heavy cream
1 3/4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
Whipped cream

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in middle of oven. For crust: Stir together all ingredients and press evenly onto bottom and 3/4 -inch up side of a 9-inch round, fluted tart pan (1 inch deep). Bake until firm, about 10 minutes. Cool on a rack 15 to 20 minutes For filling: Bring cream to a boil, then pour over chocolate in a bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Gently stir until smooth. Whisk together eggs, vanilla and salt in another bowl, then stir into melted chocolate. Pour filling into cooled crust. Bake until filling is set about 3 inches from edge, but center is still wobbly, 20 to 25 minutes. (Center will continue to set as tart cools.) Cool completely in pan on rack, about 1 hour. For glaze: Bring cream to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in chocolate until smooth. Stir in corn syrup, then room-temperature liqueur. Pour glaze onto tart, then tilt and rotate tart so glaze coats top evenly. Let stand until glaze is set, about 1 hour. Serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a sprinkle of orange zest or a few segments of clementines.
