The
Dominic’s Mud, available only at Pallotta’s Italian
Grill, is a dessert that is an ice cream, cookie and candy bar junkies
dream. This dessert will satisfy your
sweet tooth and make your taste buds say “Wow!” This dessert is probably
illegal in 50 States, so I am glad to live in the great State of Texas where I
can get this over the top frozen creation.
I actually think long time Pallotta’s
customers would riot in the streets of Oak Ridge if they ever decided to take
it off the menu and I would lead the rebellion.
I am surprised somebody has not written and dedicated a song to the Dominc’s Muds.
Here is what Phil Nicosia Owner of Pallotta’s had to say about this sinful
dessert.
Describe what is in the Dominic’s Muds?
4 layers of Mocha Almond Fudge ice
cream, with chunks of Butterfinger candy bar in between each layer, hot fudge
and hot peanut butter drizzled throughout each layer and on top, with a Nutter
Butter and Oreo Cookie crust.
How in the world did this creation
of this decadent dessert come to life?
Story goes that Dominic, George Pallotta's youngest son, would go in their
home kitchen at night and make a bowl of ice cream with cut up Butterfingers,
crumbled Nutter Butters, hot fudge, and peanut butter. George liked
his creation so much that he created the Dominic's Muds.
I heard the Dominic’s Muds has a very intense process to make, will you explain the
process?
It starts with thirty-Six gallons of ice cream, which comes
from a specialty ice cream vendor. We
open hundreds of individual packages of Nutter Butter cookies and grind them
down to a fine texture, we then grind down over 50 LBS of Oreo cookies. Next we unwrap and hand cut over 300
individual bars (over 8 cases) of Butterfinger candy bars to varied small
pieces. Melt down large quantities of hot fudge and peanut butter, just to
create our masterpiece!
This dessert has a strong following; I know a
couple that comes to Pallotta’s every year on their anniversary just to eat
it. How long has it been on your menu
and how long does it take to prepare?
For almost 18 years, the Dominic's Muds has been sold as our signature
dessert. We make 12 large containers at
a time, which produces 180 portions. It takes 3 people over 4 hours to
make these 12 containers. We make Muds typically every month. That's a lot of muds!
I noticed that you now offer different sizes
of the Muds, and I am glad you do, the original portion
was just too much for date night. What
are the new portions and how much are they?
We now offer Dominic's Muds for 2 in a half size and have also offered Dominic's Muds as a mini treat on caterings and
banquets.
The Original Dominic's Muds...$10.99 (feeds 4-5 people)
Dominic's Muds for
2...$6.59 (feeds 2-3 people)
Mini Muds...$2.50
(offered for caterings and banquets)
How would you describe Dominic’s Muds in 5 words?
Insanely delicious, indulgent, untouchable,
rewarding, satisfying, comforting, impressive, enough to share, worthwhile,
chocolaty, peanut buttery, happy belly, homemade, unique, nothing like it,
exciting, that damn good...5 words are just not enough to describe it!!!
