Mississippi Mud Pie Recipe

American · Dessert · 45 min total

A decadent Southern dessert featuring a chocolate cookie crust, a rich chocolate pudding filling, and a fluffy whipped cream topping.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups whole milk
• 4 large egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix cookie crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
2. In a saucepan, whisk together 1 cup sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly, about 5-7 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks. Gradually whisk about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into the yolks, then return to saucepan. Cook and stir for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and 2 tablespoons butter until smooth.
4. Pour the pudding into the cooled crust. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.
5. For the topping, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over the chilled pie. Refrigerate until serving.

Tips

• For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cookie crumbs.
• Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
