Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fudge sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie pan, forming a sturdy crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat, stirring gently. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Whip the heavy cream in a separate mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream gently to maintain the airy texture.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust, smoothing it out evenly.
- Refrigerate the Chocolate Mud Pie for at least 2 hours to set. Drizzle with warm fudge sauce before serving.
Notes
For extra crunch, add a tablespoon of sugar to the crust mixture. Chill the cream and mixing bowl for better whipping results.
