Description
Mississippi Mud Pie is a rich, chocolatey treat with smooth chocolate layers and a crunchy crust, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well blended. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for about 10 minutes, then let it cool.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until pale and creamy. Add in the melted chocolate, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.
- Spread a generous amount of whipped cream on top and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder just before serving.
Notes
You can add chopped nuts to the crust for added texture! Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to three days.
