Lisa's Chocolate Mousse

This was developed by one of my old co-workers, and man is it good. I made it recently and realized I hadn't gotten around to posting it, so here it is.

2 packages Nabisco famous chocolate wafer cookies
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1 bar German sweet chocolate
8 oz. cream cheese
2 12 oz. tubs cool whip
1 cup powdered sugar

For Crust: Crush wafer cookies in a food processor or blender. Add half of butter, mix, and add more butter as needed to work into a moist, crumbly consistency. Press around the bottom and sides of a springform pan, chill for 30 minutes.

For Filling: Beat powdered sugar into softened, room temperature cream cheese. Melt chocolate, add to cream cheese mixture. Add 1 tub cool whip.

Spoon 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture into the crust. Mix 3/4 of the second tub of cool whip into the remaining cream cheese mixture, then spread on top of the previous layer in the crust. Top with remaining cool whip. Sprinkle chocolate swirls or crushed cookies over the top, or top with fruit.
