I would first like to start this off by wishing my Father a very happy birthday! This year he requested a Mississippi Mud Pie based off of a memory from his childhood. Of course I was all in to try something new, and an added bonus is that this dessert was made for chocoholics such as myself. I have never had a Mississippi Mud Pie before and can attest that this will be a make again recipe. Here is the link to the original recipe we used as inspiration for this dessert: https://tasty.co/recipe/mississippi-mud-pie . We altered this recipe a bit to make it gluten free, but it was very simple to do so. The first change was using gluten free chocolate wafer cookies. There are a few different brands that my family likes to use: Mi-Del Sandwich cookies, KinniToos sandwich cookies by Kinnikinnick, or Glutino sandwich cookies. This time we used the Mi-Del sandwich cookies, but next time a recipe calls for chocolate sandwich cookies I will be trying out the new gluten free Oreos. To be honest I will probably purchase the GF Oreos once they are available in my local stores again before needing them in a recipe, so keep a lookout in the coming weeks for that post. Anyway, back to one of the best birthday treats I have had in a long time, the other alteration needed to be made was using an all-purpose gluten free flour blend for the brownie and pudding layers. This dessert was so delicious and decadent, truly the perfect way to celebrate life’s moments in 2021. From my kitchen to yours I hope you are finding 2021 to be filled with new and delightful recipes.
Until next time,
Brynn
