Pre-heat the oven to 180C.
Crush the bourbon biscuits to form crumbs. (You could use a grinder, even a rolling pin does the trick) Toss the crumbs in about 50 g of the softened butter till they are evenly moistened.
Press the buttered crumbs to the bottom and sides of a greased 9-inch spring-form tin. This is the unfilled pie shell where we shall pour in the chocolate-cream sauce.
Place pan in the freezer for 20 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar till light and almost doubled in volume. Keep aside.
Melt the chocolate and butter carefully in a double boiler (heat-proof bowl over simmering water), stirring well to ensure there are no lumps. Cool for 5 odd minutes. Gently fold the cream into the melted chocolate.
Finally fold in the beaten eggs, combining gently, taking care to not over-mix .
Pour the chocolate mixture into the tin with the set cookie crust and bake at 180 C for about 40 minutes or until just set. Remove from the oven and set aside to allow it come to room temperature.
