Description

Mississippi Mud Pie is a rich and decadent chocolate dessert featuring a fudgy cocoa batter baked in a graham cracker crust, topped with mini marshmallows melted to perfection, and finished with creamy whipped cream and chocolate chips. This indulgent pie combines gooey textures and intense chocolate flavor, perfect for special occasions or any time you’re craving a classic southern treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Base and Filling

  • 1 pre-baked graham cracker crust
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Topping

  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine melted butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, and salt. Whisk or stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Pour and bake: Pour the chocolate batter evenly into the pre-baked graham cracker crust. Bake the pie for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly soft.
  4. Add marshmallows: Remove the pie from the oven carefully, and immediately scatter mini marshmallows evenly over the top. Return the pie to the oven for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to allow the marshmallows to melt and become slightly golden.
  5. Cool and chill: Let the pie cool down to room temperature on a wire rack. After cooling, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to set fully and for flavors to meld.
  6. Finish with topping: Just before serving, spread whipped cream over the top of the chilled pie, then sprinkle with mini chocolate chips for added texture and chocolate bursts.

Notes

  • Ensure the graham cracker crust is pre-baked to prevent sogginess from the filling.
  • Do not overbake the pie; the center should be slightly soft to maintain a fudgy texture.
  • Chill the pie well to make slicing easier and to enhance flavor development.
  • You can substitute mini marshmallows with regular marshmallows chopped into smaller pieces if needed.
  • For an extra chocolate boost, consider adding a drizzle of chocolate syrup before serving.
