Instructions

Chocolate Base

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9" glass pie plate.
  • Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Stir frequently.
  • Once the chocolate and butter are combined, add the coconut sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
  • Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes. You should be able to touch the mixture without it feeling too hot. Add the tapioca flour, coconut flour, and eggs one at a time. Stir until combined.
  • Fold in the remaining chocolate chips. Pour the mixture into the pie plate. Bake for 20-25 minutes. The center should look gooey. Allow the brownie base to cool while you make the marshmallow layer.

Marshmallow Layer

  • In a large mixing bowl sprinkle the gelatin over the 1/4 cup of water. Set aside.
  • In a small sauce pan, whisk the honey, salt, and vanilla together over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and allow the mixture to heat up to 240 degrees F.
  • Begin to beat the gelatin mixture on medium speed while slowly pouring in the honey mixture. It should take about 1 minute for you to pour all the honey mixture in while beating.
  • Continue to beat the honey and gelatin for 8-10 more minutes. The mixture should double in size and become light and fluffy.
  • Spread the marshmallow fluff over the cooled chocolate layer. If you have extra marshmallow fluff, pour it into another container and save for eating later!
  • Allow the marshmallow fluff to set uncovered for at least 4 hours before adding the final chocolate layer.

Chocolate Topping

  • To make the final layer, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the vanilla extract and cacao powder. Stir until combined.
  • Add the maple syrup and stir until the frosting become smooth and creamy. Spread chocolate frosting over the marshmallow fluff. Your Mississippi mud pie is ready to be served!
