Excellent make-ahead dessert that is a hit every time!
Line bottom and sides of an 8 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan with parchment or wax paper.
Melt chocolate in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and cool.
Whisk together yolks, sugar, liqueur and vanilla in another metal bowl until blended. Set over pan of simmering water and whisk until yolks are pale yellow, thick and form a ribbon when whisk is lifted. Remove from heat and fold in chocolate and nuts. Cool to lukewarm.
Beat cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold one quarter of whipped cream into chocolate mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining cream gently but thoroughly. Spoon into pan, smoothing top, and put a piece of parchment or wax paper on surface. Wrap well in plastic wrap and freeze at least 8 hours.
To serve, unwrap pan and invert parfait onto a platter, discarding paper. Slice with a hot wet knife and serve with sauces and berries.
Parfait may be made 1 week ahead and kept frozen.
