Over the years, our family has taken many cruises, and I always enjoy sipping on a mudslide while on the boat. Despite not being a frequent drinker, this is one of my favorites. Something about being on vacation gives you permission to eat all the desserts and drink a few drinks.

That delicious boozy beverage inspired this no-bake mudslide pie, but it is alcohol-free so everyone can enjoy it.I filled a crunchyOreo cookie crustwith a creamy coffee filling and topped it with a homemadewhipped cream toppingthat had a slightly nutty flavor.

A drizzle of hot fudge and coffee beans adds a delicious crunch to the no-bake pie. The toppings are optional but highlyrecommended.

What is a Mudslide?

A mudslide drink is a dessert co*cktail made with vodka, Kahlua, and Irish cream liqueur. You can enjoy it as a regular co*cktail or frozen boozy milkshake. There are also plenty of alcohol-free versions to enjoy.

Ingredients Needed

You only need a few simple ingredients to make this mudslide pie recipe.

• Chocolate Pie Crust- You can use a store-bought crust or buy Oreos and butter to make a homemade cookie crust and let it chill for 30 minutes.
• Cream Cheese- Full-fat cream cheese will give you the best taste and texture. Set it out 30 minutes before making the pie filling.
• Granulated Sugar- Sweetens the filling and helps mix the cream cheese into a smooth, creamy texture.
• Instant Espresso Powder- DeLallo is my favorite brand of instant powder because it dissolves quickly without leaving any gritty texture. Instant coffee can also be used.
• Gelatine- One packet of plain Knox gelatine thickens the filling and gives it a mousse-like texture.
• Whipped Cream- A mixture of heavy whipping cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract creates a fluffy topping.
• Toppings- Hot fudge sauce and chocolate-covered coffee beans are a great way to add a fun flair to the delicious pie.
• Tools- 9-inch pie plate, mixer, mixing bowls, mixer, beater blade, whisk attachment, spatula, pastry bag, and icing tip 1M.

How to Make a Mudslide Pie

Our coffee mousse pie recipe is surprisingly easy to make despite its impressive appearance.

1. Make the crust.Crush the sandwich cookies to fine crumbs in a food processor. Mix the cookie crumbs and melted butter in a large bowl, then press the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate it while you make the filling.
2. Prepare the filling.Use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Dissolve the espresso in cold water, then sprinkle the gelatine on top. Let it stand for 5 minutes before microwaving for 10 seconds. Stir until dissolved, then beat into the cream cheese mixture.
3. Make whipped cream.Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a chilled mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture.
4. Assemble and chill.Spoon the coffee filling into the chilled crust. Refrigerate it for 4 hours before adding more whipped cream and extra toppings to the top of the pie.

BruCrew Tip:Spoon whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with icing tip 1M, then swirl it around the dessert's edge. For an elegant touch, garnish with chocolate-covered coffee beans or chocolate curls.

Storage Recommendations

Cover the pie with plastic wrap or keep it in an airtight container, then refrigerate for 2-3 days. It's best enjoyed within a couple of days.

Tips and Tricks

• The cookie crust can be made up to2 days ahead. Keep it covered and in the fridge until you can make the pie.
• Chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment before starting the whipped topping. Thechilled bowlhelps the cream to whip up faster.
• Allow the pie to set in the fridge for a few hours, or better yet, overnight. This not only helps the flavors to intensify but also gives you that perfect, sliceable texture.
• Use awarm, sharp knifeto make clean cuts. Dip it in hot water, then wipe it off with a paper towel in between cuts.

Variations

• Chocolate Mudslide Pie- Add ¼ cup dark cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture.
• Frozen Mudslide Pie- Fill the chocolate cookie crust withcoffee ice cream, then add toppings.
• Adults Only- Spike the pie by adding two tablespoons of Irish cream and one tablespoon of vodka to each batch of whipped cream instead of the flavored extract. This will give a creamy, boozy flavor to the pie. You can also use coffee liqueur instead of the liquid espresso in the filling.
• Chocolate Layer- Spoonchocolate ganacheover the chilled pie before adding the whipped cream.
