Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 cookies Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreo)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
Transfer the cookie crumbs to a mixing bowl and pour in the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of 6 individual tart pans or a standard-sized muffin tin to create the crusts.
Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and allow them to cool completely.
While the crusts cool, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the dark chocolate chips to the hot cream. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and let the chocolate mixture cool slightly before pouring.
Pour the chocolate filling into the prepared crusts, spreading it evenly.
Refrigerate the mud pies for at least 2 hours or until the filling is set.
Before serving, dust the tops with powdered sugar, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy your rich, fudgy mud pies!
