Description

A decadent and indulgent Mississippi Mud Pie featuring a crunchy Oreo crust, layers of vanilla and chocolate ice cream, rich fudge sauce, and topped with toasted almonds, chopped candy bars, and whipped cream. This no-bake frozen dessert requires a bit of chilling time but yields a perfectly creamy and crunchy pie that’s perfect for special occasions and chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted melted butter

Ice Cream Layers

  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream
  • 1 quart chocolate ice cream
  • 6 Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed (for layering and topping)

Fudge Topping

  • 1 cup fudge sauce (room temperature, homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/4 cup toasted almond slices (divided)
  • 4 Twix or Kit Kat chocolate bars, coarsely chopped (divided)

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Crust: Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a food processor, finely crush 36 Oreo cookies until they reach a sandy consistency. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep dish pie plate to form the crust.
  2. Bake and Cool Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove and transfer it to a cooling rack, allowing it to cool for at least 30 minutes to set.
  3. Soften Ice Cream: Remove both the vanilla and chocolate ice creams from the freezer and allow them to soften for about 10 minutes until spreadable.
  4. Spread Vanilla Ice Cream Layer: Transfer the softened vanilla ice cream to a bowl and stir until it achieves a nice spreading consistency. Spread this evenly over the cooled Oreo crust using the back of a spoon.
  5. Layer Crushed Oreos: Place the remaining 6 Oreo cookies in a resealable bag and coarsely crush them. Reserve a few tablespoons of these crumbs for topping, and sprinkle the rest evenly over the vanilla ice cream layer.
  6. Spread Chocolate Ice Cream Layer: In a separate bowl, stir the softened chocolate ice cream until spreadable. Spread it evenly over the crushed Oreo layer. Freeze the pie for 2 hours to firm up the layers.
  7. Add Fudge and Toppings: Remove the pie from the freezer and carefully spread 1 cup of room temperature fudge sauce over the top of the chocolate ice cream layer. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of toasted almond slices and half of the chopped candy bars over the fudge sauce.
  8. Freeze Overnight: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap, ensuring it doesn’t stick to the fudge. Freeze the pie overnight to fully set.
  9. Prepare Whipped Cream: When ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer and let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, use a stand mixer or hand blender to whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until medium peaks form.
  10. Top with Whipped Cream and Garnish: Spread the whipped cream over the pie. Sprinkle with the reserved Oreo crumbs, remaining toasted almond slices, and the rest of the chopped candy bars.
  11. Serve: Cut the pie into 12 servings and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Allowing the ice cream to soften slightly before spreading helps create smooth, even layers.
  • Make sure the fudge sauce is at room temperature so it spreads easily without melting the ice cream.
  • Use a deep dish pie plate to accommodate the thick layers of crust, ice cream, and toppings.
  • For best results, cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap to avoid sticking to the fudge topping when freezing overnight.
  • You can substitute other chocolate bars or nuts according to your preference.
  • Ensure your whipped cream achieves medium peaks for a stable but fluffy topping.
