Mississippi Mud Pie Cake Recipes

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the cocoa powder, then the boiling water. Let it bubble up for a few seconds, then turn it off and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Pour the chocolate mixture over the flour mixture and stir a few times to start to cool the chocolate.
• In a separate small bowl, mix the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and eggs. Pour over the flour-chocolate mixture and mix until everything is combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
• Sprinkle the marshmallows over the cake, then return the dish to the oven to broil until the marshmallows start to turn golden, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
• For the icing: Melt the butter in a saucepan, then whisk in the milk and cocoa powder. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar in 4 to 5 additions. Stir in the nuts and vanilla.
• Pour the icing all over the marshmallows, allowing some marshmallows to remain visible. Let the icing set, then deliver or serve.

Steps:

• Chocolate Cookie Crust:Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lightly spray bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
• Pulse cookies in a food processor until finely ground (you should have about 3 1/2 cups). Pulse in butter until well combined. Transfer mixture to pan, pressing it evenly into bottom and three-quarters of the way up sides. Freeze 10 minutes. Bake until dry to the touch, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
• Flourless Chocolate Cake:Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees. Place butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of simmering water; stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. In a small bowl, whisk together coffee, espresso powder, vanilla, and salt.
• In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar on medium-high speed until pale, thick, and almost doubled in volume, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in chocolate mixture until just combined. Beat in coffee mixture until just combined. Scrape down sides of bowl, then reduce speed to low and beat until evenly incorporated, about 10 seconds.
• In the clean bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to high and gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, beating until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes more. Gently fold 1 cup egg-white mixture into chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula. Fold in remaining egg-white mixture just until combined (do not overmix). Pour into cooled crust.
• Bake until cake is cracked on top and set but still slightly wobbly in center, 40 to 42 minutes (it may not appear completely cooked). Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely. Cake will deflate in center as it cools. Wrap tightly in plastic; refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
• Chocolate Pudding:Whisk together sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in egg yolks and milk. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, whisking constantly to prevent scorching. Boil 30 seconds, then remove from heat and whisk in butter, vanilla, and chocolate until smooth. Transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface to prevent skin from forming. Let cool to room temperature.
• Pour pudding on top of cake, spreading to edges of cookie-crust border with an offset spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours.
• Whipped Cream Topping:In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Gradually add sugar; beat until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes more. Top pudding layer with whipped cream, spreading to edges of pan. Unmold cake. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat flour, pecans and butter until blended. Press into the bottom of a 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack; cool completely. , Make chocolate pudding according to package directions; let stand 5 minutes. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; fold in 1 cup whipped topping. Spread cream cheese mixture over cooled crust. Spread pudding over cream cheese layer; top with remaining whipped topping. If desired, top with additional pecans and chocolate curls.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 by 13-inch cake pan.
• Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt into a medium mixing bowl.
• Put the butter in a small saucepan and, when melted, add the cocoa and water and bring to a boil. Add the boiling cocoa mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Add the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla and stir until smooth. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and sprinkle the marshmallows evenly over the hot cake.
• Put the butter in a medium saucepan and, when melted, add the cocoa powder and buttermilk and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt and stir until very smooth. Pour the hot icing over the marshmallows on the hot cake and sprinkle with the nuts. Let cool to lukewarm before serving. Cake is best served warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, grind the graham crackers to fine crumbs - you should have about 2 1/4 cups crumbs - and tip into a bowl. Add sugar, salt and butter, and toss until evenly moistened. Tip the crumb mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. Use your fingers to press the crumbs into a thin, even layer on the bottom of the pan and at least 2 1/4 inches up its sides. Bake the crust until just set, about 10 minutes. (The crust will continue to cook in the next step.) Increase heat to 350 degrees.
• Prepare the cake: In a bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water but not touching it, melt together the butter and chocolate. (Alternatively, do this in short bursts in the microwave but be careful not to scorch the chocolate.) Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the dark brown sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract and salt. Let cool slightly, then whisk in the 3 large egg yolks.
• In large bowl, beat the remaining 3 large egg whites with an electric mixer on medium until foamy, about 30 seconds. While mixing, gradually add the granulated sugar in a steady stream. Increase the mixer speed to high and continue to beat until you have stiff peaks, about 3 minutes. Using a large rubber spatula, fold the egg-white mixture evenly into the chocolate mixture. Sift the flour evenly over the chocolate mixture and fold it in. Transfer the batter to the prepared crust and smooth the top. Bake until a crust has formed over the top, the center is just set and a toothpick inserted 1 inch from the edges comes out with moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes. The center of the cake, under the crust, should still be very moist and fudgy. (Peek under the crust if necessary.) Do not overbake. The cake will sink slightly as it cools. Let the cake cool completely, at least 90 minutes.
• Prepare the custard: Set the chocolate and butter in a medium bowl. Place a fine-mesh sieve over the bowl and set it aside. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, salt, cocoa powder, and cornstarch. Add the milk, little by little, while whisking to incorporate it fully. Whisk in the egg yolks. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it has thickened and just come to a low boil. Continue to cook the custard, whisking, for another minute, then immediately pour it into the sieve, pushing it through with a small spatula. Let the custard stand for 1 minute, then whisk it together with the butter and chocolate until smooth. Pour the custard over the cooled cake. Cover the custard with plastic wrap or wax paper, making sure to press it gently into the surface of the custard. Chill until the custard has set completely, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Just before serving, remove the ring from springform pan base and transfer pie to a serving plate. Whip the cream to soft peaks and spoon high dollops over the top of the pie, leaving about a 1-inch border. Dust with cocoa powder.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a food processor, whizz the biscuits to a fine crumb. Pour in the melted butter and pulse briefly to mix well. Spoon into a 24cm pie dish and press into the base and up the sides. Bake in the oven for 10 mins to firm up.
• To make the brownie layer, melt the butter and chocolate together in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water (making sure that the bottom doesn't touch the water), or in short bursts in the microwave.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until pale, fluffy and doubled in size, then add the sugar and whisk until thickened. Fold in the chocolate mixture, then sieve in the flour and fold in.
• Pour into the baked biscuit case and return to the oven for 15-20 mins until the brownie has a crust on top. Set aside and leave to cool (if the brownie has risen a lot, it should sink down slightly as it cools).
• Once the brownie base is cooled, put the custard, chocolate and vanilla in a pan and cook over a medium heat, stirring, until the chocolate has melted into the custard. Remove from the heat.
• Soak the gelatine in a little cold water and, once softened, remove from the water and squeeze to remove any excess. Stir into the warm custard mixture until dissolved. Let the custard cool slightly, then pour over the brownie layer. Put in the fridge for a few hrs, or overnight, until set.
• Remove the mud pie from the fridge about 30 mins before serving so that it can come to room temperature for easy slicing. Just before serving, whip the cream to soft peaks and spoon it over the custard layer, then grate over some dark chocolate.
