Ingredients for Creamy Mud Pie

• 1 (6-ounce) chocolate sandwich cookie crumb crust (such as an Oreo® crust)
• 2 cups coffee-flavored ice cream, softened
• 2 cups chocolate ice cream, softened
• ¾ cup chocolate fudge sauce, warmed
• ½ cup whipped cream, for topping
• Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips, for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Place the Oreo® crust on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
2. Transfer the crust to a serving plate. Spread the warm chocolate fudge sauce evenly over the crust. Return to the freezer for 15 minutes.
3. Gently smooth the coffee-flavored ice cream over the fudge layer. Freeze for at least 1 hour to set.
4. Top with the chocolate ice cream, smoothing the surface. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
5. Before serving, spread whipped cream over the top and garnish with chocolate shavings or chips.

Tips for a Perfect Mud Pie

• Softening ice cream: Let it sit at room temperature for 5–7 minutes so it’s easy to spread.
• Layer stability: Freeze each layer separately to keep clean lines between flavors.
• Flavor boost: Add a shot of espresso to your coffee ice cream for extra mocha depth.
