	Chocolate Icebox 01

		CHOCOLATE ICEBOX PIE 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 extra-large egg yolks 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup miniature marshmallows 1 baked 6-inch pie shell Sweetened whipped cream Chocolate curls or shavings 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 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 on filling. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Remove plastic wrap. Top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate curls. Notes: 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.
