- Prepare cookie crust. Ina small bowl, beat half and half, sugar, cornstarch and salt with a wire whisk till smooth. In a 2-qt saucepan, heat lowfat milk and chocolate to boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Slowly add in cornstarch mix and return to boiling, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook for 1 minute longer till thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Immediately spoon chocolate filling into pie shell.
- Chill for at least 4 hrs. Meanwhile prepare chocolate curls: soften the chocolate in a hot place, 80 to 85 degrees, for several hrs or possibly microwave on high for 10 seconds. To create curls, hold softened chocolate in one hand; using a sharp vegetable peeler, dig the blade into the edge or possibly side of the bar and bring peeler toward you. If the chocolate is too cool it will splinter; if it is too hot it won't curl. Place curls on an oiled plate and chill. Just before serving, in a small bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract till soft peaks form. Spoon whipped cream into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip; pipe 3 proportionately space concentric circles on top of the pie and a 1-inch dot in the center. Gently score the top of the pie into quarters. Arrange chocolate curls on top of whipped cream on 2 opposite quarters, hiding the scored lines. Place reserved stars on top of remaining 2 quarters of the pie. Serve immediately or possibly chill till ready to serve.
