Add yolk mixture into chocolate mixture and with a spatula, gently fold the ingredients. Transfer the mixture to another large bowl. In the same bowl of the stand mixer, add yogurt and milk and beat on medium-high speed until a thick mixture is formed. Add remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar, one tablespoon at a time., beating after each addition. Gently, fold the yogurt mixture into the bowl of chocolate mixture. Fold in the vanilla wafers. Transfer the mousse into prepared loaf pan and with a spatula, smooth the top surface. With another plastic wrap, cover the pan and freeze overnight. Meanwhile, for ganache: In a heatproof bowl, place remaining 8-ounce chocolate. Keep aside. In a small pan, add heavy cream and bring to a boil. Pour half of the cream over chocolate and keep aside for about 30 seconds. With a spatula, gently stir the mixture in little circles. Place enough remaining cream into chocolate mixture and mix until a shiny and smooth but not runny mixture is formed. Arrange a cooling rack onto a baking sheet. Carefully, invert mousse over the cooling rack on the baking sheet. Slowly, place ganache over mousse evenly. Keep aside until mousse is semi-thawed.
