Description

Mississippi Mud Pie is a decadent chocolate dessert featuring a crunchy chocolate cookie crust, a rich and gooey chocolate filling, and a luscious topping of whipped cream or toasted marshmallows. Perfect for chocolate lovers, this dessert offers comforting, layered flavors and textures, easy to prepare with simple ingredients, making it an indulgent treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Filling

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 cup evaporated milk or heavy cream
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee or espresso powder (optional)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • Whipped cream or mini marshmallows (as desired)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press this firmly into a pie pan, forming an even crust that will hold the rich fillings.
  2. Make the Gooey Chocolate Filling: In a saucepan, gently heat chocolate chips with evaporated milk and sugar, stirring continuously until everything melts into a smooth, glossy chocolate mixture. Add instant coffee powder if using to enhance depth of flavor.
  3. Blend in Eggs and Vanilla: Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and whisk in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. This thickens the filling and helps it set perfectly once baked.
  4. Bake the Pie: Pour the filling onto the prepared crust and bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 25-30 minutes or until the filling is just set but still slightly wobbly in the center to achieve the iconic gooey texture.
  5. Chill and Top: Allow the pie to cool completely, then chill it in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Finish by adding a generous layer of whipped cream or mini marshmallows on top; toast the marshmallows lightly if desired.

Notes

  • Use good-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Do not overbake to keep the filling soft and fudgy.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly to prevent crumbling when serving.
  • Chill the pie thoroughly before slicing to set the layers properly.
  • Use instant coffee powder sparingly to enhance chocolate without overpowering.
