Mud Pies

A favorite summer memory for me is making mud pies. When I was a child, after a summer rain shower I would put on my swimsuit and go outside to play in the mud puddles. My mother would give me aluminum pie pans to play with and I would make mud pies. Here in North Carolina we have dirt that is called "red dirt". I had fun making pies and decorating them with sticks and leaves.

The recipe below for mud pie might not be as messy to make as the ones I made but I can promise you it will taste better!


Mud Pie
1 chocolate graham cracker pie crust
1 container coffee ice cream
1 1/2 cups fudge sauce

Allow ice cream to soften and press into pie crust. Place in freezer until firm. Cover with fudge sauce and place in freezer until sauce is firm.
Serve with a generous portion of whipped cream!
