2 1/2 cups milk
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa (I use Hershey's)
1 tablespoon buter or margarine
7 tablespoons cornstarch
3 extra large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup minature marshmallows
1 bakes 9 inch deep dish pie shell (prick holes in crust before you bake so it doesn't bubble up)
Sweetened whipped crem, as needed
Chocolate curls or shavings, as needed
in a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk, sugar, cocoa and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
In a medium bowl, mix together constarch and remaining 1/2 cup milk until cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Then whisk in egg yolks and vanilla extract until well-blended. Whisking constantly, gradually add egg and milk mixture to saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes or until mixture is thickened and smooth.
Remove from heat. Stir in marshmallows until melted. Pour into baked pie shell. Press plastic wrap directly onto filling and refrigerate at least 4 hours. To serve, remove plastic wrap, top pie with whipping cream
and garnish with chocolate curls.
TIPS: #1 Pressing plastic wrap directly onto the top of the hot pie filling prevents the formation of a tough, dry "skin" while the filling cools.
#2 To make decorative chocolate curls or shavings from a chocolate candy bar,use a vegetable (potato) peeler.
