When I was growing up we used to get my mom a Mississippi mud pie from small-town bakery every single year until one day it close down. We have not be able to find one that was similar to that style at any other bakery. The Mississippi mud pie has a few different styles you can make. I was used to a very rich, non-ice cream style Mississippi mud pie. So I have been on a mission to figure out how to try to re-create it. I finally did and I am so excited!
