Time 6h25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 quarts (4 pints/1/2 gallon) coffee ice cream, softened
2 cups chopped pecans
2 quarts (4 pints/1/2 gallon) chocolate ice cream, softened
2 1/2 cups chocolate-coated toffee pieces
50 chocolate sandwich cookies
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, melted
2 quarts (4 pints/1/2 gallon) vanilla ice cream, softened
2 1/2 cups chocolate shell ice cream sauce, such as Magic Shell
Store-bought caramel sauce, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • Line an 8-quart bowl with overhanging plastic wrap.
  • Tip the coffee ice cream into the bowl and smooth the surface. Sprinkle over the chopped pecans and freeze until the ice cream is firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Tip the chocolate ice cream into the bowl and smooth the surface. Sprinkle over the chocolate-coated toffee pieces and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the crust: Put the sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse to combine.
  • Tip the vanilla ice cream into the bowl and smooth the surface. Tip the crust on top of the vanilla ice cream, spread it evenly and press down firmly. Freeze again until completely set, 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Turn out the pie onto a board or serving platter lined with 4 squares of parchment arranged so that the paper overhangs the edges of the platter. Peel off the plastic wrap and pour over the chocolate shell ice cream sauce to coat the entire pie. Carefully slide out the sheets of parchment and discard.
  • To serve, cut big slices of pie, drizzle over some warm caramel sauce and stick a steak knife into the center standing up.

Time 25m

Yield 12 slices of pie

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 quarts (1/2 gallon) coffee ice cream, softened
2 cups chopped pecans
2 quarts (1/2 gallon) chocolate ice cream, softened
2 1/2 cups chocolate-coated toffee pieces
50 chocolate sandwich cookies
1 1/2 sticks salted butter, melted
2 quarts (1/2 gallon) vanilla ice cream, softened
2 1/2 cups chocolate shell ice cream sauce (such as Magic Shell)

Steps:

  • Line an 8-quart bowl with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang. Tip the coffee ice cream into the bowl and smooth the surface. Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top and freeze until the ice cream is firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Tip the chocolate ice cream into the bowl over the pecans and smooth the surface. Sprinkle the toffee pieces on top and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, put the sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse to combine. Set aside.
  • Once the chocolate ice cream is firm, tip the vanilla ice cream into the bowl over the toffee pieces and smooth the surface. Tip the cookie mixture on top of the vanilla ice cream; spread it evenly and press down firmly. Cover with the overhanging plastic and freeze until completely firm, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Turn out the pie onto a cake stand or platter lined with 4 squares of parchment so that the paper hangs over the edges of the platter. Peel off the plastic wrap from the pie and pour the chocolate shell over the ice cream to cover completely. Slide out the sheets of parchment.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your mud pie. Use real butter, semisweet chocolate, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pie tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the pie before serving: Chilling the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, will help the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
  • Top the pie with whipped cream or ice cream: A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream is the perfect finishing touch for a mud pie.

Conclusion:

Mile-high mud pie is a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy filling, and Oreo cookie crust, it's a chocolate lover's dream. Follow these tips to make the best mud pie possible, and enjoy!
