PreparationMake crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Blend first 4 ingredients in processor until nuts are coarsely chopped. Add melted butter and blend until moist crumbs form. Press nut mixture onto bottom (not sides) of 9-inch-diameter springform pan. Bake crust until golden, about 8 minutes. Freeze while preparing mousse. Make mousse: Whisk first 3 ingredients in medium metal bowl. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bowl to touch water). Whisk until candy thermometer registers 170°F, about 4 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Using electric mixer, beat yolk mixture until cool and thick, about 6 minutes. Beat in liqueur.
