Mississippi Mud Pie with an oreo crust, two layers of chocolate, and a cool and creamy whipped topping. This no-bake icebox pie is impossible to resist.
Did you make mud pies as a child? As in actual mud.
I loved to. Layer after layer of dirt, mud, and sand, varying in consistency. At least one layer had to be really gloppy, runny mud. After the layering came the decorating. Sticks poking out on top, flowers and berries for color. Maybe a few acorns.
With all the cell phones, video games, and iPads, I wonder if kids ever make mud pies anymore.
Now that I’m older, I’ve traded dirt for chocolate to make my mud pies.
Mississippi Mud Pie is layer after layer of chocolate goodness.
It all starts with an easy no-bake oreo crust followed by a fudgy and rich layer made from melted chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. Then comes a sprinkling of toasted pecans and a creamy, thick layer of chocolate pudding. To finish it all off, a nice coating of whipped topping.
Super easy and super delicious. This pie is pure chocolate heaven. Don’t expect any leftovers.
Because it is no-bake and it’s served cold, Mud Pies are perfect desserts for scorching hot days.
We have months of hot weather coming our way, and hopefully months of Mud Pies too.

Omg I wholeheartedly agree with each and everyone of you. Now i mmust try it!!!!!
Do you put the whole Oreo cookie in the food processor or just the cookies & remove the white creme between the cookies?
This is the best recipe for Mississippi Mud Pie! Other recipes were runny. This sets up fast and well! Is a hit with my husband.
Instead of whipped cream, add 4 oz of cream cheese. Really firms up the pie and cuts the super sweet taste while making it creamy!
Great recpie the only thing I changed is i add 1boxof vanilla instant pudding also i seperate a can of cherry pie filling lYer it into mud um um good
Oh wow! That sounds fantastic Frank!
I just made this for Fathers Day and it was a huge hit! Thanks so much for sharing. This is one of my favorite chocolate pies, delicious!,:)
So happy you enjoyed it Maurilla! Chocolate Pie can definitely sweeten up Fathers Day 🙂
Looks and sounds really good. Thinking of taking this to my churches Campmeeting next month…But i think it’s my duty to make one before just to make sure it’s ok… 😉
That sounds like a good plan 🙂
Hope you enjoy it!
Your pie looks divine!! I love anything that is rich and chocolate, but this also looks like a good dessert for a summer night with all the whipped cream! Thanks for sharing!
Blessings,

Thanks for stopping by Leslie! Definitely a great pie for summer entertaining. 🙂
Absolutely the BEST mudpie I have ever tasted! I had to substitute the cooked version of pudding but I think that just made it thicker and richer on top. It’s to die for and I will be taking the recipe with me on an upcoming RV trip. I’m quite sure that one glimpse of this lovely dessert and my RV neighbors will bring out their forks!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Now I want to make another one and try using cooked pudding! I am sure you will make lots of friends on your RV trip. I’ve always wanted to do one of those. Sounds like so much fun! Have a great weekend 🙂
This sounds amazing!
