The Best Mississippi Mud Pie - Kim

In addition to the ingredients below, you'll also need your choice of whipped cream. I use Cocowhip. You could also make your own, but that's on you

Cookie Pie Crust Ingredients

9 oz of crunchy chocolate chip cookies (the chef recommends) or graham crackers

⅓ cup melted butter

Chocolate Pudding Ingredients

⅔ cup sugar

¼ cup cocoa powder

3 tbsp cornstarch

2.5 cups milk (I use oat milk, but coconut milk would be really good too)

2 tbsp butter

1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

subheading: Cookie Pie Crust Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350

Crush the cookies or graham crackers to a fine consistency and add to a bowl

Stir in the melted butter until the consistency is like wet sand

Press the cookies into a 9 inch pie pan. Try to get an even thickness all around

Bake 12 minutes

subheading: Chocolate Pudding Instructions:

In a medium sauce pan, whisk the sugar, cocoa, and cornstarch together until there are no lumps.

Add the milk and whisk to combine

Turn the stove onto medium heat and bring to a simmer, whisking often

Simmer for about 3 minutes until the pudding is starting to thicken and is glossy looking. Pudding will thicken more later, don't worry

Remove from heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla extract/paste

Put in the fridge until it's completely cooled

subheading: Assemble the pie:

Do this once the crust and pudding are completely cooled

Plop the pudding into the pie crust and cover with the whipped cream

You can also put chocolate shavings on top if you like to be extra

Keep in fridge until it's time to serve
