Ingredients for Mudd Pie
- Butter-flavored cooking spray
- 1 1⁄4 cups finely crushed reduced-fat vanilla wafers (about 30 wafers), preferably a natural brand
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3-1/2 tablespoons light butter (stick, not tub), melted
- 6 cups Halo Top Mocha Chip Ice Cream
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Fudge Sauce (Recipe below)
Ingredients for Chocolate "Fudge" Sauce
- 1/2 cup agave nectar
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Steps for Mudd Pie
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2) Spray a 9-inch pie plate with spray.
3) In a medium bowl, mix the vanilla wafers with the cocoa powder and powdered
sugar. Add the butter and combine them using a fork. The crumbs should be just
sticking, but not soggy. Spoon the crumb mixture into the pie plate. Using a piece of
waxed paper, press the crumbs to cover the bottom and the sides of the plate evenly.
Bake the crust for 6-8 minutes. Place it on a baking rack to cool, about 15-20
minutes.
Remove the Ice Cream from the freezer to soften. (You should allow it to become
just slightly softened, but not melted or soup-like).
4) Using an extra large spoon, spooning small amounts of ice cream at a time, layer the
ice cream into the cooled pie crust, forming an even mound. When the pie plate is
full and heaping, smooth the top with a spatula. Return the pie to the freezer for at
least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour to harden completely. Remove it from the freezer.
Add the hot fudge to a small, microwave-safe bowl and microwave it on low in 15
second increments until just hot, stirring between intervals.
5) Slice the pie into 12 pieces. Transfer a piece to a serving plate and spoon 2
teaspoons of the hot fudge evenly over the top. Add 1 tablespoon of the whipped
topping. Repeat with the remaining slices or return the remainder of the pie to the
freezer until ready to serve.

Steps for Chocolate "Fudge" Sauce
1) Add the agave and cocoa powder to a medium resealable plastic container (a round one will be easiest to mix in). Using a sturdy whisk, mix until well combined and no lumps remain from the cocoa powder. Allow it to sit a few hours before using (it will taste fine immediately, but it thickens into a more fudge-like sauce over time).
