Great Recipe to Share from Mother's Day Dessert!

So many times you see a picture of a great dish or dessert, but when you make it, you are disappointed. Well that is definitely NOT the case with this dessert.

Pictured to the left is Mocha Pecan Mud Pie. I made it for Shawn for her Mother's Day dessert and it was outstanding (when you read the ingredients, you will probably understand why!!). Both of our sons, Josh and Caleb said, "Dad, can we have this for our birthday dessert?"

I used a pint of Haagen-Dazs Coffee ice cream and a pint of Blue Bell Dutch Chocolate ice cream. You could taste both the chocolate AND the coffee. The oreos and pecans added great flavors as well. I also choose to use a regular graham cracker pie crust instead of the chocolate one they suggested.

If you want a mouth watering pie that is really not TOO difficult to make, give this one a try. But be sure to invite us over so we can enjoy it too :) !!
