Description

This decadent Mississippi Mud Pie features layers of rich chocolate, gooey filling, and creamy whipped topping on a crunchy cookie crust — the ultimate dessert for chocolate lovers.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos), crushed
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Combine crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter and press into the bottom and sides of the pie dish to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
  3. In a saucepan, mix sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Stir in eggs, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  5. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  6. Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over the chilled pie.
  7. Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.
  • Chill the pie thoroughly before serving for clean slices.
  • You can make the crust ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
