MISSISSIPPI MUD PIE 
Preparation time: 20 minutes. Chilling time: 3 hours. Layers of ice cream are laced with fudge sauce and marshmallow creme, then topped with chopped nuts. Watch out! This one will disappear quickly!

For one 9 inch pie, 10 servings you will need:

20 chocolate wafer cookies
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 to 1 1/2 pts. vanilla ice cream, softened
1 to 1 1/2 pts. chocolate ice cream, softened
Chocolate fudge sauce
Marshmallow creme
Chopped nuts

1. In a food processor or blender, process cookies until crumbly.

2. Mix in melted butter. Pat mixture into bottom and sides of a 9 inch deep dish pie plate.

3. Spread softened vanilla ice cream over crust. Pour a generous amount of fudge sauce and marshmallow creme over ice cream. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Repeat layer with chocolate ice cream, fudge sauce, marshmallow and nuts.

4. Chill for at least 3 hours. Remove from freezer for 10 minutes before serving for best results.

Variation: Various type of fudge sauce can be found in the supermarket. If you like, you may substitute the fudge and marshmallow for butterscotch, strawberry or caramel sauce. Also, any combinations of your favorite ice creams may be used.

Tips: To soften ice cream quickly, microwave by the pint at high power for 20 seconds.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
