I don't think I have ever had a Mississippi Mud pie before, so I wasn't sure quite what to expect.
For those of you who don't know, the base is like a cheesecake base, and the filling is a rich chocolately mix, containing eggs, cream, chocolate, dark sugar and coffee. It is baked in the oven for just over an hour.
When it came out of the oven, I discovered why it is called a mud pie! It really looked quite unattractive, but I guess that is what the name suggests. Mary says to decorate it with the whipped cream. I decided to smother it instead. This covered up a multitude of sins, including a few major dips in the top. These were noticed by one of my sharp eyed children, however, the fact that it mean't extra cream made up for it!
It is a very rich dessert, and you don't need much of it. As a result, there was even enough left over for a few of our neighbours to benefit from a slice.
We gave it a score of 8.0, but it does come with a bit of a health warning!
