Description
Frozen Mud Pie is a decadent no-bake dessert with layers of chocolate and vanilla ice cream, a crunchy cookie crust, and rich fudge sauce, topped with whipped cream and chocolate garnish. Perfect for hot days or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 24 chocolate sandwich cookies or 2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
- 1 pint chocolate ice cream, slightly softened
- 1/2 cup hot fudge sauce
- 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
Instructions
- Pulse cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter until combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a pie pan to form a crust.
- Freeze crust for 10 minutes to set.
- Spread vanilla ice cream evenly over the crust and drizzle with hot fudge sauce.
- Spread chocolate ice cream over the fudge layer, smoothing the top.
- Freeze for at least 2 hours, preferably 4–6 hours or overnight, until firm.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
- Use a warm, clean knife to slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Freeze each layer briefly before adding the next for cleaner layers.
- Soften ice cream just enough to spread—don’t let it melt.
- Customize flavors and sauces for fun variations like mocha or peanut butter.
- Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before slicing for easier serving.
