Willy done tired of trying to save the planet so Willy went looking for a pie recipe that uses parts of the planet. Willy done found this great mud pie recipe. Here it is.

Mud Pie

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 pint coffee ice cream, softened
  • 1 tablespoon KahlĂșa
  • 1 tablespoon brandy
  • 1 cup whipping cream, plus 2 tablespoons
  • ½ cup dark corn syrup
  • 12 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate

Combine chocolate wafer cookies and butter and press into 9-inch pie plate. Place in freezer. Mix ice cream, KahlĂșa and brandy. Whip 2 tablespoons whipping cream, fold in to ice cream mixture, and pour into pie shell. Cover and place in freezer. Meanwhile, bring 1 cup cream and corn syrup to a simmer in medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add chocolate and whisk until smooth. Cool until lukewarm, about 20 minutes. Pour sauce over mud pie and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.

Ironically, the first time I ever had Mississippi Mud Pie was at the The Grainery, which is what I consider to be a fairly high-end steak house in Billings, MT. The year was 1986, and I was on a wheat harvest crew out of Amarillo, TX at the time. Oh what a pleasant memory.
