In a medium bowl, mix the flour, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder.
Cut in the cold butter pieces using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the cooled pie.
5. Make the Chocolate Ganache:
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Optionally, stir in the butter for added shine.
Pour the ganache evenly over the pie, spreading it to cover the streusel.
6. Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.
Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Tips:
Crust Variation: For a different twist, try using a chocolate graham cracker crust or adding a pinch of salt to the cookie crumbs for extra flavor.
Ganache Thickness: If you prefer a thicker ganache, let it cool slightly before pouring it over the pie.
Serve with Whipped Cream: Top with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
This Mississippi Mud Pie is a rich and indulgent dessert that combines chocolate in every layer, making it the ultimate treat for any chocolate lover. Enjoy!
