A step-by-step recipe for a Mississippi Mud chocolate pie: a list of necessary ingredients and a technology for preparing a festive dessert. Video recipes.
Mississippi Mud chocolate pie is a very interesting and incredibly tasty dessert originally from America. After the invention of the recipe, this dish gained popularity very quickly. It requires simple ingredients to make, and the result is an explosion of chocolate flavor.
The delicacy has a dense base and a thick but tender middle. In terms of the structure of the layers, it is similar to cheesecake, but the significant difference is that in the second version, the cream is cottage cheese, and in the chocolate pair - milk custard. The cooking technology is quite simple. But the brewing process itself requires close attention so that the cream does not burn and is homogeneous, without unpleasant clots.
To prepare the base, we use shortbread cookies, they crumble well and are easily soaked in butter. In order not to add cocoa powder separately, you can use chocolate crunches. To improve the taste, we will use ground nuts.
To give the dish a festive look, you can make a delicious decor at the discretion of the chef.
So, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the recipe for a chocolate pie with a photo of the entire cooking process.

Step-by-step preparation of Mississippi Mud chocolate pie
1. Before preparing the Mississippi Mud chocolate pie, make the base. To do this, grind peeled nuts and cookies with a blender.
2. Sift the cocoa powder into a fine sieve and add to the dry mixture.
3. Melt the butter in a water bath or in a microwave oven. Pour into the liver and mix until smooth. The butter should be evenly distributed over the dough.
4. We take a split form with a diameter of 26-28 cm with high sides. We spread the mass on the bottom and distribute it in a layer of 0.5-0.7 cm on the walls to the top. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake the biscuit cake for 15-20 minutes. We take out, put on the table and cool completely. After that, you can carefully remove the sides and rearrange the base on the dish.
5. For pouring, first combine dry ingredients - granulated sugar, cocoa and starch. Then add the yolks.
6. Add some chilled milk: at this stage, only 100 ml is enough.
7. Using a whisk, mix thoroughly to break up all the lumps.
8. Pour the remaining 500 ml of milk into a saucepan and heat it, not bringing it to a boil. Then pour in the starch mixture in a thin stream, stirring constantly with a whisk so that no clots form. Cook over low heat until the mixture becomes evenly thick.
9. In another metal container, melt the butter with chocolate pieces. We do this over low heat, also stirring. When the mass becomes homogeneous, remove from the stove.
10. Combine the custard milk cream with the chocolate-cream mixture. It is important that both masses are hot, then they mix well until smooth. To simplify the process, we use a mixer or hand blender.
eleven. Cool the resulting cream to room temperature and then pour it into a mold over the biscuit cake. We level the surface with a silicone spatula.
12. Leave the chocolate for 12 hours in a cool place to set.
13. Of course, the appearance of the dessert is already quite attractive, but you can always make it even more beautiful and interesting. To decorate, top with whipped cream, sprinkle with chocolate chips, chopped or whole nuts, and cookie crumbs. After that, let the decor freeze for about an hour in the refrigerator.
14. Delicious and beautiful festive Mississippi Dirt chocolate pie is ready! We cut it and serve it chilled.
