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.
Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.
