MISSISSIPPI MUD PIE

Steps:

• Crust: Melt butter and set aside. Line a 9-inch ovenproof glass pie plate with a 12-inch square aluminum foil tightly out over the rim of the pie plate (use a folded towel to press.) Break the Oreos into small pieces and process in a food processor until fine crumb. In a bowl mix the crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Turn the mixture into the lined pie plate and distribute evenly with your fingertips working on the sides first and then the bottom. Freeze several hours or overnight.
• Filling: Let the ice cream soften in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes. When the pie is frozen remove the foil from the crust. Gently replace the pie back into the glass pie shell. Spread the ice cream into the pie mounding it high in the center. Freeze the pie and prepare the glaze.
• Glaze: Chop chocolate fine and set aside. Place the water, corn syrup and butter in a small saucepan over moderate heat. Stir until mixture reaches a boil. Add the chopped chocolate and remove from heat. Whisk until homogenous. Cool mixture to room temperature. Pour the cooled glaze carefully over the frozen ice cream to cover the top of the pie. Do not let the glaze pour over the sides! Use a spatula to spread if necessary and work quickly before it hardens. Return the pie to the freezer until it hardens for 3 more hours. You can serve or wrap tightly and keep frozen for later use.

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pulse the graham crackers and pecans in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and process until moistened. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the chocolate crumb mixture for topping, then press the rest into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until set, about 10 minutes; transfer to a rack and let cool.

Stir in the sugar, corn syrup, coffee liqueur and vanilla. Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring until smooth. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake until set and cracked on top (like a brownie), about 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool slightly, about 2 hours (the pie should still be slightly warm).
• Make the whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla with a mixer until soft peaks form. Top the pie with the whipped cream, pecans and reserved chocolate crumb mixture. Drizzle with chocolate sauce.
