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.

Mmmmm, this looks de-licious! I’m definitely adding it to my to-make list! I used to like math a lot in high school so I went as far as my school offered, which was Calc 3. But it was never something that I was super passionate about. So I haven’t taken a single class in college so far. And I looooove pie, but I usually don’t have pie on Pi day because it is always in the middle of Lent. Basically every year I give up dessert/sweets because I’m such a pig about them the rest of the year haha. I might just make this the day before Easter though, so I can have it ready for me the next day! 🙂
Ooh that took me a while to get- the whole March 14, 3.14, pi, PIE thing. Hahaha. This looks very good! Especially since you don’t even have to turn the oven on to make it. 🙂
This is amazing. YUM
Made this today! It was amazing. I was a little nervous about the peppermint because it is not my favorite but it went perfectly with the pie! I will definitely be making this again. So easy and delicious. 🙂
So excited you already made it! 🙂
this looks SOOOOO good.
Oh, my goodness, this looks good! I love how you make decadent healthy recipes! Keep it up!
This looks delicious! I see that you used the vegan cool whip for the white topping, but what is the green topping? Is it also vegan cool whip, but with food coloring?
Yes, it explains in the post 🙂
My husband is a math nerd, so he gets really excited about Pi Day. (He likes pie too!) This year I decided to surprise him by getting into it too instead of making fun of him! 🙂 When he came down for breakfast, I had mini-quiches (egg pie) on the table. Then for supper, I made shepherd’s pie, followed by two square-shaped pies (because, as we all learned in geometry, pi r square(d) 🙂 – Hey, it wasn’t grammar day! 🙂 One was a square version of your original tofu pie (yum!) and the other was the best coconut cream pie I have ever had in my life, and it was vegan!! It was a really fun and so yummy pi day!
Haha your day sounds so creative… I love it! Theme parties are my favorite. Your husband’s a lucky guy :).
I told myself I wasn’t very good at math, but the truth of it is I was just fine at it, I just didn’t like it 😛
I celebrated pi day by making your original ultimate chocolate fudge pie, with a gingersnap-inspired crust (I didn’t have any gingersnaps and didn’t want to go to the store), and I drizzled it with a dulce de leche I made with coconut milk. Delicious!
I loooove chocolate mint, so I should be making this version relatively soon 😛
I don’t think I ever had dulce de leche in my pre-vegan days… now I’m intrigued! Off to google for your coconut milk version… 🙂
I love fudge, but not so much mint, however THIS recipe I will be trying.
Looks so good!
