Mississippi Mud Pie is a rich and indulgent chocolate dessert combining a crunchy graham cracker crust with a smooth, fudgy chocolate filling. Topped optionally with whipped cream or marshmallows, this pie offers deep chocolate flavor and a delightful contrast of textures, perfect for any special occasion or cozy dessert craving.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling

  • 2 cups semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Whipped cream
  • Marshmallows
  • Chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Cocoa powder for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish to form a sturdy crust.
  2. Mix the Filling: Melt the chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until completely smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt together. Gradually blend the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until fully combined.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Pour the chocolate filling over the prepared crust, spreading evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  4. Cool and Add Toppings: Allow the pie to cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours to set. Before serving, add toppings such as whipped cream, marshmallows, or nuts as desired.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Do not overbake; the center should have a slight jiggle to remain fudgy.
  • Chill the pie thoroughly to ensure clean slices.
  • Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling when cutting.
  • A pinch of salt in the filling enhances the chocolate’s richness.
