Mudslide Dessert Recipe | The PERFECT End of Summer Treat!

This Mudslide Dessert Recipe is just not just for Summer. It’s an easy, delicious treat, and really is great any time of year!

Mudslide Dessert – SO Delicious!

We made this treat a few weeks ago as we were going through our Summer meals . . . and oh my heavens!  If you’ve been looking for a yummy icebox treat I definitely recommend this Mudslide Dessert recipe! 

This mudslide cake is pretty easy to make and is absolutely divine – the chocolate sauce smells amazing when you’re cooking it up too 🙂 This is great for Summer, since it’s so cool and refreshing, but really could be used any time of the year.

Mudslide Dessert Ingredients:

• Oreos
• Vanilla Ice Cream
• Butter or Margarine
• Powdered Sugar
• Evaporated Milk
• Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• Vanilla Extract

This is a no bake icebox recipe, so absolutely perfect to make in Summer!  It’s easy to make though and definitely kid approved, so you can really make it ANY time of the year to enjoy.

You’ll want to start by crushing your Oreos (you could do this in a food processor or just in a sandwich baggie) and then mixing in a large bowl with 1/2 cup of butter.  This is what is going to make the crust layer.

Once well combined, press that mixture into a 9×13 baking dish and then freeze. (Be sure to spray the dish with cooking spray on the bottom and up the sides – this will help later when you cut the dish!)

While that’s freezing, grab your ice cream, and you’ll get ready to make the middle layer.

Grab the crust back out of the freezer, and then get ready for the fun!

One of the keys tips for this mudslide dessert is to slice the ice cream and then once it starts to soften, you can spread it out.  This is also a part that the kids would love to help with (and there’s usually some left over ice cream too!).

After the ice cream is spread out, pop the baking dish back in the freezer to set while you work on your chocolate fudge sauce topping.

Combine the powdered sugar, chocolate chips, evaporated milk, butter, and vanilla in a sauce pan on the stove.  Bring the ingredients to a boil for about 7 minutes – stirring constantly.  You definitely don’t want this mixture to burn!

Remove the chocolate from heat and allow to cool completely. Once it is cooled, pour the chocolate sauce over the crust and ice cream, and then place it back into the freezer to freeze until set.

You could serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a cup of coffee or just on it’s own.  It’s delicious either way!
