Recipe - Lubys Chocolate Icebox Pie

2 One half cup Milk; divided
1 1/3 cup Sugar
One fourth cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon Butter or margarine
7 tablespoon Cornstarch
6 tablespoon Water
3 Egg yolks, extralarge
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 cup Miniature marshmallows
1 Pie shell, 9inch; baked
Whipped cream, sweetened;
for topping
Chocolate curls or shavings;
for garnish

Combine 2 cups milk, sugar, cocoa, and butter in a mediumsize saucepan.
Bring just to a boil over medium heat. In a mediumsize bowl, completely
dissolve cornstarch in water. Stir in remaining ½ cup milk. Whisk in egg
yolks and vanilla until wellblended. 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.
