mud pie recipe With White Chocolate Drizzle
- Total Time: 279 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
- Diet: General (with gluten-free, dairy-free, low-sugar options)
Description
This mud pie recipe features a crisp, chocolatey cookie crust, a velvety smooth and rich chocolate filling, and is finished with a luscious white chocolate drizzle, offering a satisfying blend of textures and tastes for an easy family dessert.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups (150g) Oreo or chocolate cookie crumbs, for the crunchy base
- 0.25 cup (55g) melted unsalted butter, binds the crust together
- 8 oz (225g) block cream cheese, softened, creates a creamy, tangy filling (use full-fat or light cream cheese, depending on preference)
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sweetens the filling and ensures a smooth texture
- 8 oz (225g) container whipped topping (like ‘Cool Whip’), thawed, lightens the filling for an airy feel (or use homemade whipped cream for extra richness)
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted, provides deep chocolate flavor (choose a quality brand for best results)
- 0.5 cup (85g) white chocolate chips, for the luscious white chocolate drizzle (use good quality for smooth melting)
- 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream, ensures a smooth and pourable white chocolate drizzle
- Optional garnishes: extra cookie crumbs, chocolate shavings, fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into a 9-inch pie plate, covering the bottom and sides. Chill in the freezer for 15 minutes until set and firm to the touch.
- Make Mud Pie Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and lump-free, appearing light and fluffy. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined and airy.
- Incorporate Chocolate: Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and glossy. Fold the melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until it’s uniformly dark and rich brown.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the rich mud pie filling into the chilled crust, using a rubber spatula to spread it evenly. The filling should look perfectly smooth.
- Chill to Set: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight until the filling is firm to the touch. This step is crucial for a clean slice!
- Prepare White Chocolate Drizzle: Melt white chocolate chips with heavy cream in a small microwave-safe bowl using 15-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth and fluid. The mixture should be pourable.
- Drizzle and Serve: Once the mud pie is fully set and chilled, artfully drizzle the white chocolate over the top in desired patterns. Allow the drizzle to set slightly before slicing and serving your delightful mud pie.
Notes
For a smoother white chocolate drizzle, use room temperature heavy cream to prevent the chocolate from seizing. Ensure cream cheese is softened for a lump-free filling. For best results, chill the pie overnight.
