Classic Mud Pie Recipe

This recipe is a classic mud pie with a rich chocolate filling and a crunchy cookie crust.

Ingredients:

* Crust:

* 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

* 1/4 cup sugar

* 5 tablespoons (2 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted

* Filling:

* 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

* 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

* 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped

* Chocolate shavings or chocolate curls (optional)

Instructions:

1. Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely.

2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, cocoa powder, coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. Assemble the pie: Pour the chocolate mixture over the cooled crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

4. Serve: Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings or curls, if desired.

Tips:

* For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder.

* You can use chocolate syrup instead of coffee for a sweeter filling.

* Instead of whipped cream, you can top the pie with chocolate ganache or a dollop of ice cream.

* For a smoother filling, use a whisk to blend the ingredients.

* For a more decadent crust, use chocolate wafer cookies instead of graham crackers.

Enjoy!
