Ingredients
Instructions
- Crush Snackwell graham snacks.
- In a large bowl, blend crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, Nestle Quik, and liquid Butter Buds.
- Press the mixture onto a deep dish pie pan that has been sprayed with nonfat vegetable cooking spray (Pam).
- Pour softened frozen ice cream or yogurt into the crust.
- Place in freezer for 1 hour.
- Once the ice cream has hardened, spread fudge topping on top of it.
- Place in freezer until ready to serve.
- Take out of freezer about 10 minutes before serving to make it easier to cut.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter option, consider using a low-sugar frozen yogurt instead of traditional ice cream. If you prefer a different crust, crushed Oreos-N-Creme can be a delicious substitute. Make sure to press the crust firmly into the pie pan for a sturdy base. For added flavor, you can mix in a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract into the crust mixture.
Serving Suggestions
This pie is best served with a drizzle of extra fudge topping and a dollop of whipped cream or Frozen Yogurt on the side. It pairs wonderfully with Gracie'S Garlic Bread if you're serving it as part of a dessert spread. For an extra touch, garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh berries for a pop of color.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in the freezer, covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, to prevent freezer burn. It's best consumed within one week for optimal taste and texture. If you want to serve it later, take it out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cutting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of sweetener instead of powdered sugar?
Yes, you can substitute powdered sugar with a sugar alternative like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener. Just ensure that the alternative measures similarly to powdered sugar to maintain the sweetness level. Experimenting with different sweeteners can help tailor the recipe to your dietary needs.
How can I make this mud pie more chocolatey?
To enhance the chocolate flavor, consider mixing in cocoa powder with the crust ingredients or using chocolate-flavored frozen yogurt as the filling. You can also add chocolate chips into the ice cream layer before freezing for a delightful surprise in every slice.
Is it possible to make this pie vegan?
Certainly! To make this pie vegan, use a plant-based yogurt alternative and a vegan chocolate fudge topping. Additionally, ensure the graham snacks are vegan-friendly. This way, you can enjoy a delicious, guilt-free dessert that aligns with a vegan diet.
