### Ingredients:
**For the Crust:**
- 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (from about 20 chocolate sandwich cookies)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
**For the Filling:**
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules (optional)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 1/2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
**For the Topping:**
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz (about 1 and 1/3 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips
### Instructions:
#### Prepare the Crust:
1. **Preheat the Oven:**
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. **Crush Cookies:**
- In a food processor, crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs.
3. **Combine with Butter:**
- In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
4. **Press into Pie Dish:**
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
5. **Bake:**
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool while preparing the filling.
#### Make the Filling:
6. **Mix Wet Ingredients:**
- In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and instant coffee granules (if using). Mix until well combined.
7. **Add Eggs and Vanilla:**
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
8. **Combine Dry Ingredients:**
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
9. **Add Nuts (Optional):**
- Fold in the chopped nuts if you're using them.
10. **Pour into Crust:**
- Pour the filling into the cooled chocolate crust.
11. **Bake:**
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the center is set. It's okay if it has a slight jiggle.
12. **Cool:**
- Allow the pie to cool completely before adding the topping.
#### Prepare the Topping:
13. **Heat Cream:**
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer.
14. **Pour over Chocolate:**
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and well combined.
15. **Pour over Pie:**
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the cooled pie, spreading it evenly.
16. **Chill:**
- Place the pie in the refrigerator for a few hours or until the ganache sets.
17. **Serve:**
- Once set, slice and serve your delicious Mississippi Mud Pie.
Enjoy this indulgent and delightful dessert!
