This mint chocolate fudge pie is for serious fudge lovers only.
Pi equals 3.14
Which makes today—March 14th—National Pie Day. I celebrated a day early with this ultra-fudgy mint-chocolate-chip pie. But it’s okay; there are still a few slices left… so I can will celebrate again today. For quite some time, I’d been meaning to try a mint version of my favorite Ultimate Fudge Pie recipe. With St. Patrick’s Day so close, this week seemed like the perfect occasion.
I think I like the mint version even better than the original No Bake Chocolate Pie!
I topped my slice with homemade Vegan Cool Whip.
You only need 1 drop of food coloring or a tiny bit of spirulina for the entire cool whip recipe!
Mint Chocolate Fudge Pie
- 1 (12.3 oz) package tofu (Here’s a soy-free chocolate pie)
- 1 tsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk of choice
- scant 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 to 1/4 tsp pure peppermint extract (start with 1/8 and add more if desired)
- 8-10 oz chocolate chips (1 1/2 cups) or Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips
- as needed, 2-3 tbsp sweetener of choice
- optional: cacao nibs or extra chocolate chips stirred in after blending
Melt the chocolate either on the stove or in the microwave. (Google how to melt chocolate if you are unsure, as it’s easy to burn.) Throw everything into a food processor and blend until super-smooth. Pour into a prepared pie crust, or serve in bowls. Fridge until chilled. This gets firmer and firmer the longer it sits. It’s also firmer if you use firm tofu and more like mousse pie if you use silken.

i’m a serious fudge lover for sure! 🙂 and i love a little mint in there too, so this dessert sounds like perfection to me.
I have nearly all of the ingredients!! This may be on the menu this weekend 🙂
It’s also Registered Dietitian day – ironic on Pi day, right?! I love the looks of this pie – I can make it even though I gave up sugar for Lent, and love the punch of protein from the tofu!
It’s kind of like how January was apparently National Candy Month… and yet it’s when everyone makes New Year’s resolutions to not eat junk! Whoever made up these holidays was just plain mean! 😉
This pie is juuuust for me. I can tell 😉
Oh Katie. I’m drooling. This looks incredible!
This is absolutely wonderful. We make it all the time. So glad I found your web site, and this recipe. I make it sugar free too,it is a main stay in my recipe box. Thank you!
Aw thanks, Amy 🙂
Hooray for Pi day. 🙂 In Seattle it is also a several day menu event at vegan Pizza Pi. Not sure if I will make it this year or not…
Won’t stop me from making my own pie however! And this looks fabulous. 🙂
I actually was OK at math too. And even though I wasn’t a natural at calculus I actually REALLY liked it. It felt like all the geometry and algebra and theory suddenly went together!
I made your ultimate fudge pie and just threw in about 1/3 cup of peanut butter and it was amazing!!!
PB always makes things better!
Yum! What is the green stuff on top of the pie? Is that the vegan cool whip too?
Yes, it’s linked under the last photo 🙂
I’ve been meaning to make your fudge pie for quite some time now! I really need to add silken tofu to next week’s grocery list…and perhaps some mint extract too!!
