Time 6h25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 quarts (4 pints/1/2 gallon) coffee ice cream, softened
2 cups chopped pecans
2 quarts (4 pints/1/2 gallon) chocolate ice cream, softened
2 1/2 cups chocolate-coated toffee pieces
50 chocolate sandwich cookies
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) butter, melted
2 quarts (4 pints/1/2 gallon) vanilla ice cream, softened
2 1/2 cups chocolate shell ice cream sauce, such as Magic Shell
Store-bought caramel sauce, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • Line an 8-quart bowl with overhanging plastic wrap.
  • Tip the coffee ice cream into the bowl and smooth the surface. Sprinkle over the chopped pecans and freeze until the ice cream is firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Tip the chocolate ice cream into the bowl and smooth the surface. Sprinkle over the chocolate-coated toffee pieces and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the crust: Put the sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse to combine.
  • Tip the vanilla ice cream into the bowl and smooth the surface. Tip the crust on top of the vanilla ice cream, spread it evenly and press down firmly. Freeze again until completely set, 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Turn out the pie onto a board or serving platter lined with 4 squares of parchment arranged so that the paper overhangs the edges of the platter. Peel off the plastic wrap and pour over the chocolate shell ice cream sauce to coat the entire pie. Carefully slide out the sheets of parchment and discard.
  • To serve, cut big slices of pie, drizzle over some warm caramel sauce and stick a steak knife into the center standing up.

2 quarts (1/2 gallon) chocolate ice cream, softened
2 1/2 cups chocolate-coated toffee pieces
50 chocolate sandwich cookies
1 1/2 sticks salted butter, melted
2 quarts (1/2 gallon) vanilla ice cream, softened
2 1/2 cups chocolate shell ice cream sauce (such as Magic Shell)

Cover with the overhanging plastic and freeze until completely firm, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

Tips for Making a Mile-High Mud Pie:

  • Use a combination of chocolate chips and cocoa powder. This will give your pie a rich, chocolatey flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pie tough.
  • Bake the pie in a water bath. This will help to prevent the pie from cracking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the pie to set properly.

Conclusion:

Mile-high mud pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. You can use different types of chocolate chips, add nuts or fruit, or even make a gluten-free version. No matter how you make it, you are sure to enjoy this classic pie.
