What is Mississippi Mud Pie Made of?

Mississippi Mud Pie is a three layer dessert. The bottom layer is a chocolaty crust. In the center of the pie is a thick chocolaty pudding. On top there is a layer of whipped topping or ice cream. Some think the pie was inspired by the Mississippi river.

How do you store a Mississippi Mud pie?

This particular mud pie should be put together when ready to serve. The crust and filling should be frozen and allowed to sit for a few minutes before serving. While the crust is thawing, you can make the whipped topping that goes on top.

Tips for making Mississippi mud pie.

This is a no bake recipe once you have made the Oreo based pie crusts. It is suggested that you allow the crusts to fully cool before adding the insides and toppings.

More tips for you

  1. instead of baking, these mud pies are frozen in order to set. It is best to leave them in the freezer until about five minutes before you are ready to serve them as they may melt or soften quickly.
    Make sure to use foil, not paper liners.
  2. To make this into individual sized cakes we are using a muffin or cupcake pan. Using foil cupcake liners is preferred as the paper kind tend to stick to these cakes.
  3. This recipe uses pudding as an ingredient for the chocolaty filling. Feel free to use the chocolate pudding of your choice.

Personalize these pies.

These mud pies are tasty and easy just the way that they are.
However, you can make yours more interesting.

Try one of these ideas.

  • Serve your mud pies with chocolate syrup drizzled on top.
  • Add a bit of a boozy twist to your filling.
  • Instead of whipping cream, use ice cream for the filling.

Prepare the crusts as indicated above. Allow the crusts to cool. Also, make sure that your baking chocolate is finely chopped.

Step Two: make the filling.

  • Heat one cup of the milk to about 120 degrees using a microwave or on the stove. The milk will be warm to touch but, not hot. While the milk is heating, place the pudding mix and the remaining milk in a mixing bowl.

Step Three: finish and serve.

  • When you are ready to serve the pies, remove the crusts from the freezer.
  • To make the topping layer, fit a stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Beat the heavy whipping cream with the vanilla on medium until stiff peaks form.
  • Top each pie with about a tablespoon of whipped topping. Then serve with chocolate chips and cocoa powder or as desired.
