I am so excited to share this recipe for Autumn Mississippi Mud Pie, which is a smooth transition from summer into the autumn since it’s filled with pumpkin spice latte ice cream!



Guys!! I can’t even begin to tell you what a dangerous and an incredibly addictive substance I’ve created! Over the top indulgent. Full stop.

I start craving it even at the sheer memory of the sweet, spicy, smooth, crumbly, crunchy and all around delicious Mississippi Mud Pie.

If you’ve had one you will instantly start nodding your heads in agreement but wait till I tell you what I’ve done to the original recipe.

As soon as September rolled around the weather in London changed instantly as if it wanted to comply with the first autumn month, which made me long for pumpkin spice lattes and sitting curled up by the fire.

The only problem is my fireplace is closed shut and there are no PSLs in local Starbucks, at least not yet. Then to make matters worse…or better, unexpectedly our summer returned.

What do I do? I make Pumpkin Spice Latte Ice Cream! Then I throw white chocolate chunks in.

But as you have probably guessed that was so not the end of the story. I really wanted to create the epitome of decadence, and American desserts is where decadence abounds. No stops there. None.

I’ve had a faint memory of Mississippi Mud Pie from my college days but all I could recall was that little number was TASTY and sweeeet

! My version is quite a bit different and adapted to my grown-up taste. I guarantee you will love it. Make it for your Thanksgiving dinner and your will be the hostess with the mostess.

The pie starts with a chocolate crust, which then layered with chocolate ganache, then filled with white chocolate chunk pumpkin spice latte ice cream (no churn).

Then covered with another layer of chocolate ganache and sprinkled with toasted hazelnuts. Done!

I really couldn’t wait to sink my teeth into this pie as I was “patiently” layering and freezing my creation but what surprised me the most, so did my kids! I thought, surely they won’t like it, it has a coffee middle and nuts. I tried to dissuade them but to no avail. They loved it!

Brad and I loved it too. What sold me on this dessert is that pumpkin spice latte ice cream offsets the sweetness of the chocolate and creates the perfect balance. In the end, it didn’t taste overly sweet but it did taste luxurious!
