Description

A rich and indulgent Mississippi Mud Pie featuring a chocolate cookie crust, fudgy brownie layer, creamy chocolate pudding, and fluffy whipped topping—perfect for chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 24 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 4 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine crushed cookies and melted butter, then press into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  2. To make the brownie layer, melt butter and unsweetened chocolate in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, flour, and cocoa powder. Pour into the crust and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely.
  3. For the pudding layer, whisk cornstarch, sugar, salt, and milk in a saucepan. Add chopped semisweet chocolate and cook over medium heat until thickened. Whisk egg yolks separately, then temper with a bit of the hot mixture before combining fully. Cook for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat and add vanilla. Let cool slightly before pouring over the brownie layer. Chill for at least 2 hours.
  4. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over chilled pudding layer.
  5. Garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder if desired. Chill until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for a richer taste.
  • Make ahead and refrigerate overnight for best results.
  • You can substitute Oreo cookies for the crust for added sweetness.
