Mud Pie Ingredients
Method
Mud Pie Directions
- 1
Prepare the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.

Layer the Ice Cream
Once the crust has cooled, scoop the mocha ice cream into the crust, spreading it evenly. Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up. Follow with a layer of chocolate ice cream, smoothing the top. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Caramelize the Walnuts
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped walnuts and sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar melts and caramelizes, coating the walnuts. Remove from heat and let cool on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Serve the Mud Pie
To serve, warm the hot fudge sauce in a microwave or on the stove until pourable. Cut the pie into slices and place each slice on a plate. Drizzle hot fudge sauce over the top, add a dollop of whipped cream, and sprinkle with caramelized walnuts.
