Mini Mississippi Mud Pies
These mississippi mud pies are a chocolate lover’s dream come true! I have always been a fan of mississippi mud pie but really, I prefer to make smaller, individual desserts as they are easier to serve and I think it worked out great. Made with a layer of oreo at the bottom and topped with a cream chocolate pudding filling and homemade whipped cream. I like to serve mine topped with mini chocolate chips and a dusting of cocoa powder.
The recipe makes about 12 servings and they last for about 2 days. Make sure to use foil liners because paper liners will get soggy.

Mini Mississippi Mud Pies

Mini Mississippi Mud Pies - An individual version of the classic chocolate dessert! Made with an oreo crust and a chocolate pudding filling topped with whipped cream.
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 cups Oreo crumbs
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
For the Filling
- 3 cup milk (divided)
- 4 ounces baking chocolate (finely chopped)
- 1 box (5.9 ounces) chocolate pudding mix
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
For the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line 12 muffin tins with foil liners.
- In a small bowl, combine the oreo crumbs and melted butter.
- Place 2 tablespoons of crust mixture into each muffin tin and pack it tightly into the bottom.
- Bake the crusts for 7-8 minutes, or until they have set and are no longer crumbly. Set aside to cool while you make the filling.
For the Filling
- Heat 1 cup of milk in the microwave or a small saucepan until it is hot to the touch (about 120 degrees F). Add the chopped chocolate and whisk until the mixture is fully combined.
- Add the chocolate milk mixture to a large bowl, along with the pudding mix and remaining two cups of cold milk.
- Whisk to combine - about 1 minute. Then allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Pour the pudding layer over the Oreo crusts and transfer them to the freezer to chill - about 2 hours.
- Once the pies have set, add the whipped cream and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until the whipped cream forms stiff peaks.
- Place 1 tablespoon of whipped cream in each of the pies and garnish with mini chocolate chips and cocoa powder, if desired.
- Keep frozen until ready to enjoy. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two days.
Notes
* 1 row of oreos is approximately 2 cups of crumbs.
* These tarts will soften quickly when they're removed from the freezer so I like to keep them frozen and then allow them to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before enjoying.
* Make sure to use foil, not paper liners. Paper liners will get soggy.
