Ingredient Notes

• Kitchen Staples – Butter (melted and room temperature used), Sugar, Cornstarch, Salt, Cocoa Powder, Powdered Sugar
• Oreos – Crushed
• Semisweet Chocolate – Chopped
• Espresso Powder – Espresso taste helps improve the chocolate taste. I used 1 tablespoon, however might use as much as 2 tablespoons.
• Espresso – At room temperature.
• Vanilla Extract – Use actual vanilla extract, by no means artificially flavored. I take advantage of the Nielssen-Massey model.
• Eggs – Separate whereas chilly (much less breakage), however let heat to room temperature for simple incorporation.
• Complete Milk – 3 ½ Milk Fats. Provides extra richness than low-fat milk.
• Whipping Cream – AKA Heavy Cream; 36-40% milk fats.
• 1 envelope Whip-It – Non-obligatory whipped cream stabilizer (this can preserve whipped cream from separating if storing it for greater than a day)

Skilled Ideas

• The crust is made with crushed Oreos. Because the filling is a part of the recipe, you’ll be able to’t substitute chocolate cookie crumbs. 
• Make your personal crumbs by processing them in your meals processor. You may as well place them in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin, meat mallet, and so on. However this may be time-consuming.
• To make the flourless chocolate cake, you’ll have to separate your eggs. The whites are for the cake and the yolks are for the pudding.
• PRO-Tip: Eggs separate finest when chilly. The yolks are much less more likely to break. However egg whites whip finest at room temperature.
• PRO-Tip: Even one speck of oil on the beaters or bowl will forestall egg whites from whipping correctly. This contains egg yolks, so ensure you separate your eggs one by one, and never over the bowl of collected egg whites in case your yolk breaks. 
• The egg whites are gently folded into the chocolate when making the cake. For those who haven’t used this method earlier than, first add 1 cup of the whites into the chocolate. Use a rubber spatula to elevate and fold the whites into the batter from the center, down, then up the aspect of the bowl. Repeat till the combination is mixed. Repeat with the remainder of the whites till virtually fully mixed. Watch out to not overmix. Notice: when the cake layer is baked, it is going to puff up, then fall. That is regular.
• When cooking your pudding, whisk it always so no lumps develop. Notice that it have to be chilled for 3 hours earlier than including it to the pie.
• The crust is kind of thick and a bit arduous to get a fork by means of. We had crust flying throughout the kitchen because the boys have been attempting to interrupt by means of with their forks. They undoubtedly loved this dessert. For those who’re searching for a wealthy chocolate dessert that makes a sensational presentation, this Mississippi Mud Dessert suits the invoice!
