two sundays ago i was in charge of dessert for family dinner. megan requested mudpie. i had never made mudpie before but wanted to try and make it using a springform pan. that way, it looked prettier than just pressed in a 9x9 pan. the entire process was extremely easy and with ice cream, oreos, buttercream and homemade hot fudge you cant go wrong.
mudpie 1 carton ice cream 1 package oreos 1/4 cup butter
crush up package of oreos in a food processor. melt half a stick of butter and mix it with the crushed oreos. pat oreo mixture into the bottom (and a little bit up the sides) of a springform pan. place in freezer to chill. soften ice cream. press ice cream into the pan, on top of oreo crust. let freeze a bit longer. release from pan and decorate with your favorite buttercream recipe. right before i serve it, i drizzle hot fudge onto each slice.
hot fudge 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1/2 can water 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
mix all ingredients with wire whisk over medium heat until well blended and almost boiling. |
