Directions:
Preheat oven to 325º. Combine crumbs, sugar and salt - stir and toss with a fork. Add butter and stir vigorously until all crumbs are moist. Press and pat mixture to cover bottom and sides of a 9" pie pan building crust slightly above rim. Bake 8-10 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack before filling. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let stand 5 minutes. Combine milk and chocolate in a heavy bottom sauce pan and whisk frequently over low heat for 4-5 minutes or until chocolate melts. Remove pan from heat and stir 1 minute. Add salt, 1/2 cup sugar and the egg yolks. Whisk until blended, return to medium low heat and cook whisking constantly for 4-6 minutes until mixture thickens slightly. DO NOT BOIL. Remove from heat and whisk in gelatin. Return to medium low heat whisk for 1 minute until gelatin dissloves. Pour into a large bowl and stir in vanilla and refrigerate giving it a stir every 10 minutes until mixture is cool and beginning to thicken - approximately 40 minutes. When chocolate mixture is ready beat egg whites in large bowl until forming soft peaks and add 1/2 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. In a smaller bowl whip cream until it forms soft peaks. Scoop whipped cream into egg whites then pour chocolate over mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold everything together quickly but gently until you see no white. Scoop mixture into crust molding it in the center. Refrigerate several hours before serving. Garnish with additional whipped cream and chocolate curls. **use a veggie peeler on milk or dark chocolate bar**Make it Mocha - stir in one tablespoon instant coffee grnules into the milk.
