Mississippi Mud Pie I

One of my go to favorites! Before making it I highly suggest you read the reviews. I’ve made it multiple times and here is what I do. I’ve never made a full 9X13 dish of it so I can’t judge on how that would turn out. Instead, I buy 2 Oreo or chocolate pie crust in the baking isle. (This saves time on making the crust.) PLUS, the bonus is this makes 2 pies! Yes, use the 3 cups of milk. I use 2 packages of chocolate pudding since I’m not a fan of butterscotch. The must do thing to make this a success is to mix the milk and pudding mix together and let it SIT AT 5-6 MINUTES to thicken BEFORE assembling. After adding the final layer of Cool Whip wrap securely and freeze. Sit it in the fridge a few hours before serving. It may not cut completely cleanly (depending on how long it has been out of the freezer) but it is good! Just keep it cold. I’ve made this before Thanksgiving and had 1 Thanksgiving and saved the 2nd pie for Christmas. Great for a pot-luck. Super easy, super inexpensive and always a hit!

Simple to make…. All 10s from the judges!!!

Read most of the reviews and didn’t see anyone else with my issue! My pudding was totally runny and just seeped into the crust! I wasn’t firm at all! I put it in the frig right after to see if it will firm up….kind of a big mess. I followed the recipe exactly.

My son has asked for this to be his “birthday cake” for the last ten years! My whole family loves it and gets excited when I make it!

I absolutely love this dessert – it’s often requested by my family. Instead of a mix of chocolate pudding and butterscotch pudding, I use two boxes of butterscotch. It’s delicious this way! I’ve also made it with two boxes of chocolate pudding too, cans that’s also fantastic.

i made the recipe but nothing stayed together. I have no idea how they achieved the picture but following this recipe lead to a goopy mess. The whipped topping and pudding just ended up together. The graham cracker was thin in comparison. Everyone enjoyed it but it was nothing like the picture and the pie did not hold up. It was a mess.

This is a good but very rich and sweet dessert. I used gluten free graham crackers and discovered that one box only made 1 cup of crumbs so I halved the crust ingredients and put them in a 9×9 square pan. I intended to fill as needed but used the entire filling amount for the square pan. If I were to make this again for a 13×9 I would double the cream cheese layer. I also added extra whipped topping to the top layer. I had bought the big container of whipped topping so there may have been a slight difference in my conversion of ounces to cups.

Scrumptious! I made a few changes that made it more yummy: Multiplied the cream cheese layer by 1.5. Did the same with the pudding layer. Sprinkled peanut dust and 2 crushed SKOR candy bars on top of the cool whip layer. This thing disappeared fast! My husband insisted that I sneak a piece to save for him for the next day before everyone devoured it.

Complete flop.

When I was little, my aunt Jen would come to visit around thanksgiving and Christmas time, and would always bring a Mississippi mud pie. Fast forward and I’m now a 27 y/o bachelor living on my own and for years have never been able to replicate her recipe. Well after a few alterations, this is it, just as I remember it. I stuck true to the recipe, except for the butterscotch pudding which I ended up omitting, and I also added in crushed pecans on the cool whip and cream cheese layer, and on the top layer. I used a Pyrex dish to make this in, and after pouring in the graham cracker crumb mixture and pressing it in (I used a spoon to do so), I stuck it in the oven @ 350 for 20 or so minutes. This helped the crust solidify into a solid piece and added an extra crispness to the overall recipe.

wonderful and great for company dessert also, could eat it for any time so good, easy to make

It is easy to make we loved it.

Tastes great but super sweet!! Gave me tummy aches every time I ate it. I made the puddings and let them firm in the fridge and crust in the freezer before assembling the pie. I added crushed Butterfinger Crisps on top.

I won’t make it again. It wasn’t for us. If you love pudding you may like it.

Flavor is good but this is not how my mom made Mississippi Mud Pie back in the 1970’s. Am looking for that original tasting recipe.

I mixed a little sour cream and a few drops of caramel flavor to the last bit of whipped cream at the end. It was fantastic!

Ok, the flavors was great BUT my pudding layer wanted to slide off the bottom cream cheese/sugar/whipped cream layer. Did not present well. Any ideas what I can do, other than chilling overnight. I tried that with 2nd pie already.

I have made this several times for my boyfriend and his family… They always love it and ask me to make more. For me personally I think it is good but I would probably modify I few things, make it a bit more artisanal. Pros are super cheap to make and even though it says a prep time of 30 minutes… It usually takes me 12 – 15.

I made this for a family dinner. It was so easy and everyone loved it. Following some of the other reveiwers, I used 2 chocolate puddings and left off the butterscotch. It was also very good the next day when we finished it off.

OMGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!! This was absaloutly AMAZING!!! I made it exactly as follows and it came out phenomenal!! I will Definatly alter it next time just for fun. But Definatly a holiday pleaser!
