Easy Decadent Mississippi Mud Pie

Mississippi Mud Pie is a rich decadent chocolate pie topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

Forget that boxed pudding mix made pie filling. This one is just as easy and tastes a million times better. You can still use a premade crust and whipped cream if you want, I won't tell.

The first time I made it 6 or 7 years ago, my husband took the entire pie and a fork and disappeared. When he brought the empty dish back he informed me the recipe was "a keeper".

Since his birthday is Valentine's Day I thought I would remake it for our Valentine's Day Desserts post this week. But you don't have to wait for Valentine's Day to make it, it is fabulous any time even for breakfast.
