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 was actually lightning fast at math until I got lazy about homework of all kinds in high school. But I was always and still am brilliant at calculating in my head. I’m the writer and dancer marrying into a family composed of engineers and engineering professors, and when we go out for dinner, they all hand me the bill at the end of the night to calculate the tip, and how to split the whole thing, if we’re splitting it.
But anyway, I am not even a big fan of mint, and this is still making me drool. Once again, your recipes and photos are simply irresistible. I love how so much of what you make is fudge-textured, because to me, fudge is the best food texture ever. Not nearly so big a fan of bread-y, crumbly cakes and brownies.
Drooool. Funny you should mention math. Ick. Actually, I am pretty good at math. At least I thought I was. If you don’t know, I’m home schooled-so right now I was doing my math for today. I was always a good math student, until I met Algebra 2. HECK. Imaginary numbers? I’m spending 2 hours on numbers that don’t EVEN EXIST? That is the best April Fool’s Day gag I ever heard of. And it’s not even funny.
I think I’ll make this pie to make myself feel better.
I LOVE YOUR STATEMENT RE: “SPENDING 2HOURS ON IMAGINARY NUMBERS” **DEFINITELY CHOCOLATE TIME** AND ‘SPRING INTO MINT’ TIME’!
Perfect dessert for St. Patty’s day feast!
Oh my, that looks and sounds amazing! I didn’t even realize today would be pie day, so I might have to whip this up for the husband and I, thanks for the great healthy recipe. I am terrible at math, I mean I can get my way through, but I would definitely say its my least favorite subject.
Your pie looks amazing! I love how creative you are with your dishes, you simply amaze me!
Oh my. I’ve been tempted to try the original version of this pie for ages, but this tops it hands down <3
I am pretty good at math, but I only went up to lower-division math in college. Once you get to upper-division, you have to do proofs and another craziness that seemed really difficult! It was also too abstract for me, so now I’m in science instead.
And yes, I’m hoping to eat pie today!!! 🙂
I love pie day! I actually made your original chocolage fudge pie for my church’s Pie Day event tonight!
And yeah, I’m good at math. I was on the math team from 7th through 12th grade. Plus, I’m an elementary teacher, but I serve as the math instructional coach for the whole building… so my love of Pi/Pie day is multiplied by my love of math and my love of pie!!
I was a math major in college until senior year when I switched because I found other things interested me more. The mintyness just looks so cool and crisp, I cannot believe it only takes 1 drop of food coloring for the cool whip. That is awesome!
YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!! Can’t wait to try this out today!! I was just thinking of making the original after lunch, so this works out perfectly!
As for the math…ummm…I was pretty good at it until high school and pre-cal came up, then I became math dumb and decided to stay away from it. Now my life is limited to the few math things that I remember from elementary school…like BEDMAS…and the few things that apply to normal life (as you listed Katie).
