Mississippi Mud Pie from Mississippi

Mississippi Mud Pie, a luscious testament to dessert excess, hails from the Vicksburg-Natchez area near Jackson, Mississippi. This indulgent creation layers pudding, cake, biscuits, and a medley of ice cream, whipped cream, and marshmallows, often spiked with a splash of liqueur.

Its origin remains a delicious mystery, but it’s thought to mimic the muddy banks of the Mississippi River. Why the enduring love affair? This pie isn’t just a dessert; it’s a celebration in every slice, symbolizing Southern hospitality and decadence. It’s the kind of irresistible treat that insists you forget about calories and dive into its rich, chocolatey depths.
