How to Make Luby's Chocolate Ice Box Pie

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate (chopped), and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
  2. Remove from heat.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/2 cup milk, 2 large egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the hot chocolate mixture, stirring constantly.
  5. Return the saucepan to low heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, until the mixture thickens to a smooth, pudding-like consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup mini marshmallows until completely melted and incorporated.
  7. Pour the chocolate filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  8. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pie to prevent a skin from forming.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to set completely.
