I wish I would have gotten a cleaner slice, but sometimes the beauty of food, like people, is imperfect. All I really care about are the amazing textures of and decadent flavors of this pie! It’s the perfect treat for chocolate lovers.

Mississippi Mud Pie Recipe

The crisp Oreo crust, the incredibly fudgy, flourless cake, layered with a thick and creamy, decadent chocolate pudding and then it’s finished with a fluffy, sweet whipped cream. Yes, this pie is chocolate Heaven! My kids love to crush Oreos to get the cookie crumbs for the iconic Oreo cookie crust “dirt”, but you can also buy premade pie crusts for a shortcut. You can also choose Cool Whip to minimize ingredients and speed up the instructions. I’d highly recommend this recipe, and with the holidays coming up you’ll have the perfect excuse to make such a luxurious and indulgent pie. Add sprinkles for a birthday, or a drizzle of hot fudge sauce for even more chocolate. Nuts, strawberry sauce, or chopped candy bars can also cut the richness. Kids love gummy worms for their mud pies! Yes, it has got to be the longest recipe I’ve ever posted and it is rather time-consuming but once you’ll try it, you’ll realize it is totally worth it. Bring this pie to your holiday gatherings to balance out the pumpkin pie and fruit pies in the spread—everyone needs some chocolate for their sweet tooth!
