When you think of mud pie, I’m sure a few things come to mind. Chocolate, whipped cream, crust, you get the idea. But what about a Mississippi mud pie? If you haven't heard of this southern-hailing dessert, you will now! This decadent pie starts with a chocolate crust, then gets a layer of brownie, a layer of rich chocolate pudding, a layer of fluffy vanilla whipped cream, then a beautiful dusting of shaved chocolate. Is your mouth watering yet?

Author's Notes

Any chocolate cookie will work, or even graham crackers. You just want 1 ½ to 2 cups of crushed cookie in total. In a hurry? your favorite store-bought chocolate pudding will work fine in this recipe.

Instead of chocolate shavings, a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup is also a great garnish for the top of the pie.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 2
Add Oreo® Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (20) to a blender or food processor and blitz until finely ground. Add the Butter (1/3 cup) and pulse to combine.
step 3
Press evenly into the base and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes until firm.
step 4
For the next layer, make the Brownie Mix (1/2 box) according to package directions. Ours needed Egg (1), Oil (4 Tbsp), and Water (2 Tbsp). In a large mixing bowl, mix until smooth.
step 5
Pour mixture onto the crust. Bake for 10-15 minutes or as long as needed for a toothpick stuck into the center to come out clean. Let cool and place in the fridge to chill while you make the pudding.
step 6
To make the pudding, first set the Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (2/3 cup) and Butter (2 Tbsp) in a medium bowl.
step 7
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup), Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (4 Tbsp), and Corn Starch (4 Tbsp). Add the Whole Milk (2 cups), little by little, while whisking to incorporate it fully. Whisk in the Egg Yolks (4). Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it has thickened and reaches a low boil.
step 8
Whisk the pudding for another minute, then immediately pour it over the butter and chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute, then whisk until butter and chocolate are melted and fully combined.
step 9
Pour over the cooled brownie. Cover with plastic wrap, making sure to press it gently into the surface of the pudding. Chill until the pudding has set, at least 3 hours (overnight is best).
step 10
Whip the Heavy Cream (1 cup) in a cold bowl with Powdered Confectioners Sugar (2 Tbsp) and Vanilla Extract (as needed) until soft peaks form, then whip a tiny bit more to add structure.
step 11
Once the pudding is set, add whipped cream (leave a 1-inch border). Shave Chocolate (to taste) over the top and serve.
