Ingredients

2-1/2 cups milk divided

1-1/3 cups sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 Tablespoon butter or margarine

7 Tablespoons cornstarch

6 Tablespoons water

3 egg yolks, extra-large

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup miniature marshmallows

1 pie shell, 9-inch baked

whipped cream, sweetened for topping

chocolate curls or shavings for garnish

Directions

Combine 2 cups milk, sugar, cocoa, and butter in a medium-size saucepan.

Bring just to a boil over medium heat.

In a medium-sized 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 minutes 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, "skin" from forming as pie cools. Use a potato peeler to make decorative chocolate curls or shavings from a chocolate candy bar.
