Common Questions About Mississippi Mud Ice Cream

Does Mississippi Mud Ice Cream Contain Actual Mud?

Don’t worry, this ice cream recipe only gets its name from the mighty Mississippi River! The “mud” is actually delicious elements like fudge sauce and Oreo cookies.

What’s the Best Way to Serve Mississippi Mud Ice Cream?

You can serve this ice cream pie-style with an Oreo crust or straight out of the container. Some people even layer it with whipped cream or chocolate sauce!

Do I Need an Ice Cream Maker for This Recipe?

Having an ice cream maker is handy, but not necessary. You can also use a food processor to achieve a smooth texture.

Storage

You’re going to love a great big Mississippi mud ice cream scoop! It’s a rich coffee ice cream that might just be your new favorite!

Refrigerator

This ice cream needs to be kept cold, so the freezer, not the refrigerator, is its proper home!

Freezer

Store your ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. I generally use Tupperware or something similar, but you can also use a Ziploc resealable bag.

Make sure your freezer is set to the coldest setting to keep your ice cream nice and firm.

Tips

Some people like to use xanthan gum in their homemade ice cream, though this recipe doesn’t call for it. It helps prevent the formation of ice crystals. Here are some other tips to try out!

• If you don’t have a delectable chocolate fudge sauce, you can melt chocolate chunks with a little bit of heavy cream!
• For a less intense coffee flavor, reduce the amount of instant coffee. 
• Make sure the instant coffee is broken into fine crumbs for even mixing.
• For a fun twist, try adding brownie pieces or even whole cookies!

Ingredients

For an even darker flavor, try using unsweetened chocolate. Check out our ideas for variations down below for even more ideas!

• Large eggs
• Granulated sugar
• Heavy cream
• Whole milk
• Instant coffee
• Oreo cookies
• Milk chocolate chunks
• Fudge sauce
• Toasted pecans

How to Make Mississippi Mud Ice Cream

The decadent fudge sauce mixed in and drizzled on top might be my favorite part of this recipe. It combines with all the other flavors so well!

Try adding the fudge in a layer just before the ice cream is done mixing. That will get you an amazing fudge ribbon through it that just makes the presentation pop!

1. Beat the eggs with an electric mixer until light and foamy, about 1 minute. Slowly add the sugar and continue mixing until blended.
2. Add the cream, milk, and instant coffee, blending until combined.
3. Pour the liquid into the ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Transfer half of the ice cream to a freezer-safe container. 
5. Add half of the Oreo crumbs, chocolate chunks, fudge sauce, and pecans. 
6. Add the remainder of the ice cream mixture, and then top with the rest of the cookies, chocolate, fudge, and pecans.
7. Cover the container and freeze for 4 to 6 hours. 

• Makes 1 quart of liquid and about 1 ½ quart frozen.

• In the Cuisinart Ice Cream 2 quart machine, this takes approximately 30 minutes to freeze into a soft serve consistency.
