Yield: 8 Servings
Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
2½ cup | Milk; divided |
1⅓ cup | Sugar |
¼ cup | Unsweetened cocoa powder |
1 tablespoon | Butter or margarine |
7 tablespoons | Cornstarch |
6 tablespoons | Water |
3 \N | Egg yolks, extra-large |
1 teaspoon | Vanilla |
1 cup | Miniature marshmallows |
1 \N | Pie shell, 9-inch; baked |
\N \N | Whipped cream, sweetened; for topping |
\N \N | Chocolate curls or shavings; for garnish |
Combine 2 cups milk, sugar, cocoa, and butter in a medium-size saucepan.
Bring just to a boil over medium heat. In a medium-size bowl, completely dissolve cornstarch in water. Stir in remaining ½ cup milk. Whisk in egg yolks and vanilla until well-blended. Gradually add egg yolk mixture to mixture in saucepan, stirring constantly with wire whisk. Cook, stirring constantly, about 2 min., or until mixture is thickened and smooth. Add marshmallows and stir until they melt and mixture is smooth. Pour into pie shell. Press plastic wrap directly onto filling. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Remove plastic wrap. Top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate curls.
Note: Pressing plastic wrap directly onto hot pie filling prevents a tough, dry "skin" from forming as pie cools. Use a potato peeler to make decorative chocolate curls or shavings from a chocolate candy bar.
