Steps:
- Place the chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl with the vegetable shortening. Throw it in the microwave until the shortening is melted and hot, 30 to 45 seconds. Stir with a fork to combine thoroughly.
- Next, pour the melted chocolate over the underside of a clean cookie sheet. Then, with an offset spatula or a knife, spread the chocolate in a thin layer. Keep going until it's very, very thin. Then...and this is the key...stick it in the freezer for a few minutes.
- After a few minutes, check that the chocolate is ready by pressing it with your finger tip; it should leave the slightest mark, but not an actual depression.
- Next, get a somewhat sharp-edged spatula and begin to scrape the chocolate from the bottom of the pan. When the chocolate is just the right temperature, it'll curl instead of break. If it gets too soft, stick it back in the freezer for a minute.
- Pretty soon you'll have a bunch of fun little chocolate curls.
- Important: As soon as possible, transfer the curls to a cold pan or plate, and then stick them in the freezer to harden. Store in the freezer in a zip-top bag until you need them. Use them to adorn pies, cakes or platters of fruit. You'll feel instantly fancy!

Steps:
- Place chocolate in double boiler set over, but not touching, simmering water. Stir with rubber spatula until melted, about 3 minutes.
- Pour 1/4 cup melted chocolate into a clean 11-by-17-inch flat baking sheet. Repeat with second sheet. Use an offset spatula to spread chocolate as evenly as possible on each sheet. Transfer the baking sheets to the refrigerator to chill, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer baking sheets to a flat surface. Use a bench scraper to firmly scrape along bottom of sheet in direction away from your body. Hold bench scraper at a slight angle to sheet; push to form curls. If chocolate is too cold, it will splinter. Let sheet sit 2 to 4 minutes at room temperature. Scraps of chocolate may be melted and used again. Refrigerate best curls for cake.
- Use remaining 3/4 cup melted chocolate to spread on three banana-cake layers.
CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEESECAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE TOPPING
Steps:
- HEAT oven to 350 degrees F.
- BEAT cream cheese in medium bowl with electric mixer until fluffy; gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
- TOSS chocolate chips with flour; stir into cream cheese mixture. Pour into crust.
- Bake 35 minutes or until center springs back when lightly touched. Cool and top with Chocolate Glaze and chocolate curls (optional). Serve chilled.
- CHOCOLATE GLAZE:
- MELT chocolate chips with cream in small heavy saucepan; cook and stir until thickened and smooth. Immediately spread over cheesecake.
- To prevent chocolate chips from floating down to bottom of pie, remove cheesecake from oven after 5 to 10 minutes, sprinkle chocolate chips over pie; continue to bake for remaining baking time. (Be careful when handling cheesecake, pie pan will be very hot.)
- *To make chocolate shavings, start with a good quality chocolate in block form. Using vegetable or potato peeler, hold chocolate with paper towel; pass vegetable peeler over narrowest side of chocolate block. The chocolate will curl up like wood shavings. Store in covered container in refrigerator until needed.
