Chocolate lovers, this Mississippi Mud Pie is for you! A silky chocolate filling topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, all eaten on an Oreo crust. It doesn’t get much more delicious than that! I love delicious pies that I can eat all year long. If you make this pie and want to come back for more, then you must try this delicious Fresh Strawberry Pie, this simple No Bake Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Pie, and this insanely delicious Lemon Chess Pie. Pie is a staple at our house and these ones you cannot miss!
What is Mississippi Mud Pie?
This pie came from (you guessed it!) Mississippi! The color of this pie was said to look like the muddy banks of the Mississippi River but don’t worry. No mud was involved in making this pie. Only delicious and silky milk chocolate. This pie is made of delicious layers, and changing up the toppings is how I get away with serving this over and over again! Try switching out the chocolate curls for some sprinkles, a chocolate sauce, or even more crushed Oreos. A chocolate dessert that goes with everything is a staple, and that’s exactly what this recipe is. It is a staple that you will come back to over and over again because everyone who eats it loves it. They can’t resist coming back for seconds! I especially love serving this in the summer because there isn’t a better way to wrap up a BBQ than with some delicious chocolate!
Ingredients in Mississippi Mud Pie Recipe
Once you see this list of ingredients, you will be licking your lips, and your mouth will be watering! This dessert is so delicious and packed with sweet, chocolatey flavors. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
Cookie Crust
Oreo Cookies: Is there anything better than an Oreo crust for a pie? Unsalted Butter: The butter is melted and helps to combine the cookies so that you can press and shape the crust. Salt: The salt enhances the flavors in the Oreo cookie crust.
Brownie Layer
Unsalted Butter: I use unsalted butter in the brownie layer. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: You can use milk chocolate chips, but I like the flavor that semi-sweet chocolate chips bring to the pie. Sugar: This sweetens everything up. Brown Sugar: When you measure the brown sugar, make sure it’s packed. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: This adds a chocolate flavor as well as color to the brownies. Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla enhances the sweet flavors in this pie. Large Eggs: Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing them in. Baking Powder: This helps the brownies to rise and become soft and chewy. Salt: The salt brings out all the different flavors in the recipe. Flour: I used all-purpose flour in this recipe.
Pudding Layer
Chocolate Pudding: This layer is silky smooth in the pie! Whole Milk: Whole milk is mixed with the pudding to make it nice and smooth.
Whipped Topping
Heavy Whipping Cream: Chill this in your fridge before mixing this up. Powdered Sugar: This will sweeten up the whipped topping.
How to Make Mississippi Mud Pie

Whipped Topping
Use a Brownie Mix: For an easy alternative to making your own brownie, replace the brownie recipe with 1 box of brownie mix prepared according to the directions on the box. Add to the Oreo crust and bake according to the box. Use Frozen Whipped Topping: The homemade whipped cream can be replaced with frozen whipped topping (like cool whip) that has been thawed to make it even easier.
In the Refrigerator: Store the leftover Mississippi mud pie in an airtight container (or cover it with some foil). It will last in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
