mud pie

Chocolate layer dessert

A mud pie is a mixture of mud shaped by children into a pie form—a classic bit of outdoor play.

The term also names a chocolate dessert, typically featuring a cookie crust, ice cream or pudding filling, and chocolate sauce, meant to resemble its muddy namesake.

The kids spent all afternoon making mud pies in the backyard.
