Mississippi Mud Pie (Easy Recipe)

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

For the crust: Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they're broken into fine crumbs. Add the Oreos to a medium-sized bowl and mix in the butter.

Step 3

Press the crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake it for 10 minutes.

Step 4

For the brownie layer: Melt the butter and dark chocolate in a large bowl in the microwave. Use 30-second increments, stirring after each increment. Do not let the mixture get too hot.

Step 5

Whisk in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Then, whisk in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Pour the brownie mixture onto the Oreo crust.

Step 6

Bake it for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the brownie layer cool for 3 hours.

Step 7

For the pudding layer: Whisk the milk and pudding in a medium bowl until combined. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, then spread it over the brownie layer. Chill it for 2 hours.

Step 8

For the whipped cream: Blend the heavy cream with a stand or hand mixer until soft peaks form. Then add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar and blend until stiff peaks form. Do not over-mix.

Step 9

Spread the whipped cream over the pudding layer. Add crushed Oreos on top if desired. Enjoy!
