Mississippi Mud Pie is one of my favorite things to make..although I agree with the Baked authors that it is VERY sweet. I loved the idea of making a layered cake that was more "dreamier more elegant version".
I am so excited to be baking my way through, Baked Explorations. It is one of my favorite cookbooks. Everything has a fresh spin and has turned out amazingly well. I also discovered that I have friends who are also baking their way through this book. Take a peek at what they made.
The flourless chocolate cake layer took up the entire crust area...no room for my pudding layer! Oh NO.
I made it work. This cake was mammoth!! I gave some away to our friends, the Walshes. It is beautiful to look at but I think it could be better. I think my chocolate pudding recipe and my flourless chocolate cake recipe could combine to create an amazing cousin to this. And I saw in my Death by Chocolate cookbook a "Big Dig" cake that is similar. I want to try the idea again but with different layers.
Very Rich and Beautiful!
The whipped cream layer was amazing.

Mike,
I am so excited to join the Baked adventures. Can't wait to see if you have luck with this one.
Sorry to hear about your pudding! It sounds as if you were not the only one with that problem.
