Make filling: Place chocolate, butter and salt in a medium bowl. Warm cream in a small pot over medium-high heat until steaming, about 3 minutes. Pour cream over chocolate mixture, let stand for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Add vanilla, bourbon and zest, if desired; stir until well combined. Pour chocolate mixture into crust. Refrigerate until well chilled and set, about 4 hours. Slice and serve.
