- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whipped cream

- 1/2 cup cream cheese
Flavoring and Garnish:
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chocolate shavings
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tbsp coffee liqueur
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare the chocolate cookie crust by pressing the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, creating an even base.
- Blend cream cheese, eggs, and butter until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Incorporate cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt into the cream cheese mixture, mixing thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
- Pour the chocolate pudding over the prepared crust, spreading it in a uniform layer.
- Drizzle coffee liqueur across the pudding layer to enhance the depth of flavor.
- Carefully spread the coffee ice cream over the pudding, creating a seamless transition between layers.
- Generously pour chocolate ganache over the ice cream, allowing it to cascade naturally.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then dollop or pipe the whipped cream around the edges of the pie.
- Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the top for an elegant and textural garnish.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow layers to set and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, drizzle additional chocolate fudge sauce in a decorative pattern across the surface.
- Slice and serve chilled, ensuring each portion captures the luxurious layers of this decadent Mississippi mud pie.
Notes
- Chill ingredients beforehand to ensure a smoother, more stable pie texture and easier mixing process.
- Replace coffee liqueur with strong brewed coffee or coffee extract for a non-alcoholic version that maintains rich flavor depth.
- Customize the pie by using gluten-free cookie crumbs for the crust, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Reduce sugar content by using dark cocoa powder and sugar-free alternatives in the pudding and ganache layers for a less sweet dessert option.
