Decadent Mudslide Pie

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Mudslide Pie.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your refrigerator to ensure everything stays nice and cool.

2. Step 2

   Grab a 9 1/2-inch deep dish pie plate and give it a light coat of cooking spray—this will help your pie come out easily later on.

3. Step 3

   Set the plate aside for now.

4. Step 4

   In a food processor, toss in some dark chocolate sandwich cookies, melted butter, and a pinch of kosher salt.

5. Step 5

   Pulse the mixture about 20 times until it’s finely chopped and holds together when you pinch it.

6. Step 6

   This will be your delicious crust! Press this mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of your prepared pie dish, then pop it in the refrigerator while you work on the next steps.

7. Step 7

   Next, take a microwave-safe bowl and heat your hot fudge topping for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until it’s nice and runny.

8. Step 8

   Let it cool for about 5 minutes so it’s easier to work with.

9. Step 9

   Once your crust is chilled, spread a generous layer of softened coffee ice cream over the bottom.

10. Step 10

    Drizzle 1/4 cup of that warm fudge topping over the ice cream, then place the pie in the freezer to firm up for about 45 minutes.

11. Step 11

    While that’s chilling, let’s whip up some creamy goodness! In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine heavy cream, coffee liqueur, Irish cream liqueur, and vanilla extract.

12. Step 12

    Beat this mixture for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes until stiff peaks form.

13. Step 13

    Gently fold in sweetened condensed milk until everything is light and fluffy, then add in 1/2 cup of chopped espresso beans for that extra kick.

14. Step 14

    Once your pie has firmed up, take it out of the freezer and spread the whipped cream mixture over the ice cream layer.

15. Step 15

    Return the pie to the freezer and let it harden for about 2 hours.

16. Step 16

    When you’re ready for the final touch, warm up the remaining 1/4 cup of fudge topping in the microwave until it’s nice and warm, then let it cool slightly.

17. Step 17

    Remove the pie from the freezer and drizzle that luscious fudge topping over the whipped cream layer.

18. Step 18

    Sprinkle the rest of the chopped espresso beans on top for a delightful crunch.

19. Step 19

    Finally, return the pie to the freezer and let it freeze completely, which will take at least 8 hours or overnight for the best results.

20. Step 20

    When you’re ready to serve, take the pie out of the freezer and let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften just a bit.

21. Step 21

    Slice it up and enjoy this decadent treat with friends and family—every bite is sure to be a hit!.
