Process by pulsing the crumbs until the ingredients are evenly mixed. Press into a 9" pie pan across the bottom and up the sides. For Filling: In a heavy saucepan, heat milk to scalding. Mix beaten yolks with sugar and salt in a heatproof bowl. Add hot milk gradually to the yolk mixture to prevent 'cooking' the eggs. Place bowl over hot water and cook, stirring constantly, until a custard is formed and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool. Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin on cold water and let stand for 3 minutes. Add gelatin to warm custard and stir until dissolved. Cool until thickened. Add vanilla and mix well. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until thickened. Add beaten egg whites and whipped cream by folding into the custard mixture. Pour into chocolate crust, heaping the filling slightly. Grate semi-sweet chocolate on top of pie. Chill until firm, about 2-3 hours.
