\u00a0<\/i><\/strong>I have been making this decadent Fudge Topped Chocolate Ice Cream Pie since I was a newlywed!<\/strong> Easy enough for a beginner cook and decadent enough to serve to special company!<\/em><\/p>\n A recipe for \u201cMississipi Mud Pie<\/strong>\u201d was in a cookbook I received at one of my wedding showers. It was a cookie crust, filled with softened chocolate ice cream and topped with fudge sauce. Over the years, I began adding some Kahlua and even a slosh of brandy to enhance the chocolate flavoring. My family has loved this frozen Chocolate Ice Cream Pie\u00a0<\/strong>since day one!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This\u00a0Fudge Topped Chocolate Ice Cream Pie has made an appearance on our summer menu for years. My first few pies were sans a fudge topping, but once my family tasted the upgraded version, there was no looking back.<\/p>\n No-bake desserts are perfect for summer and your family will love this chocolate ice cream pie. Here are a few tips so the process goes smoothly.<\/p>\n If serving this easy, no-bake chocolate ice cream pie to company, you may want to garnish your dessert. I like to pipe 8 dollops of sweetened whip cream around the perimeter, then insert an Oreo into each mound. This should be done right before serving as you don\u2019t want your whipped cream to be frozen.<\/p>\n Since this recipe serves 8 when it\u2019s sliced. each piece will look like it\u2019s restaurant-worthy without a lot of effort. Use an open star tip and a piping bag or a Pampered Chef Easy Decorator<\/a> (affiliate link).<\/p>\n This same technique can be used for different flavors of ice cream pies. Just take a cue from the ingredients in your pie when choosing what you insert into the whipped cream. Malted milk balls, other cookies, and candies would work well. M&M\u2019s could bleed so I\u2019d avoid using them.<\/p>\n This year, for the 4th of July, I made this ice cream pie in a 9-inch springform pan. The same procedure is used except that I used 3 pints of chocolate brownie ice cream for the filling. You may want to buy 2 jars of fudge sauce, too, just in case you need a little more for full coverage.<\/p>\n This dessert is credited to restaurateur Joanna Droeger, who added it to her San Francisco restaurant in 1957. Her version had an Oreo crust, coffee ice cream, and a homemade fudge topping.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n This dessert is said to resemble the dark mud along the banks of the Mississippi River.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n My recipe is very much like the original, but other ingredients have been used in other versions of mud pies. These include pudding, cake, ice cream, marshmallows, and\/or liqueur in a cookie crust.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n This step can be tricky as the ice cream starts melting during the process, making it tough to spread. Begin by opening your jar of hot fudge and warm it very slightly so it\u2019s easier to spread. It should not be hot.<\/p>\n Then remove your pie from the freezer and quickly<\/em> drop small spoonfuls all over the surface of the ice cream. With a knife or offset spatula, immediately smooth the topping, joining all the dollops of fudge together. Return to the freezer.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Stay in touch through social media\u00a0@\u00a0Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, and\u00a0Pinterest<\/a>. Don\u2019t forget to tag me when you try one of my recipes! And if you love the results, please give it a 5-star rating in the recipe card.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Use a hot dry knife to cut slices. Wipe off and reheat as needed. <\/p>\n To make in a 9-inch springform pan instead of a pie plate, increase the amount of ice cream to 3 quarts. Pat the crumbs only on the bottom of the springform pan.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n 8<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n 1 slice<\/span><\/p>\n Amount Per Serving:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \t\tCalories:<\/span> 852<\/span>Total Fat:<\/span> 44g<\/span>Saturated Fat:<\/span> 26g<\/span>Trans Fat:<\/span> 0g<\/span>Unsaturated Fat:<\/span> 15g<\/span>Cholesterol:<\/span> 55mg<\/span>Sodium:<\/span> 419mg<\/span>Carbohydrates:<\/span> 98g<\/span>Fiber:<\/span> 5g<\/span>Sugar:<\/span> 73g<\/span>Protein:<\/span> 11g<\/span>\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Fudge](\"https:\/\/www.thatskinnychickcanbake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Fudge-Topped-Chocolate-Ice-Cream-Pie-Easy-Ice-Cream-Pie-Recipe.jpg\" "\\"Fudge")
