Mary Berry Mississippi Mud Pie Recipe
With its chocolate cookie crust and creamy chocolate filling, this pie is perfect for any special occasion.One tip to enhance the experience is to use dark chocolate for a deeper flavor and less sweetness.I absolutely love how easy it is to add your own twist, like incorporating a layer of marshmallows or chopped nuts.
