Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this decadent Mud Pie:
- 1 pre-made chocolate cookie crust
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- Chocolate shavings or whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Alright, let’s break it down step by step:
- Start by melting the chocolate chips. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Just keep stirring until it’s nice and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Gradually add in the sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Keep whisking until it’s all well-combined and fluffy.
- Now, gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream mixture. This is where the magic happens as the chocolate and cream come together.
- Carefully pour the chocolate filling into your pre-made chocolate cookie crust. Spread it out evenly, then cover it with plastic wrap.
- Chill the pie in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait that long. This will help all those delicious flavors meld together beautifully.
- Once it’s set, take it out, and if you’re feeling fancy, top it with chocolate shavings or a dollop of whipped cream.
