Luby's Chocolate Icebox Pie
Yield: 8 Servings
Ingredients
2 1/2 cup milk; divided
1 1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 TBLS. butter or margarine
7 TBLS. cornstarch
6 TBLS. water
3 egg yolks, extra-large
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 pie shell, 9-inch; baked
1 whipped cream, sweetened -for topping
1 chocolate curls or shavings for garnish
Instructions
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 1/2 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.
