Mud pie is the dessert of choice for the Kansas City fan. Traditionally it’s cheese cake and pudding on top of a pecan crust. I used mousse, sweet and spicy pecans, and a little vanilla in the cheesecake layer. The original is a baked pie. I am going no-bake because I need the oven for all the other Super Bowl foods I’m doing. I hope you like it.
