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.

When I saw this recipe I knew I HAD to make it. So like a woman possessed I went to the kitchen, got down my bag of Guittard’s- barely a handful left. Damn, okay, I’ll just make my own, I think…. get down the chocolate powder container-
Empty…..
Crap….
Scrounge for a chocolove bar….Wrappers from the Extra Dark and Almonds and sea salt…. but no chocolove….
Panic…
How could I be out of chocolate when CCK posted my favorite chocolate combination as a pie on national pie day!!!!!
Than I saw them, my big 1 lb bag of Navitas Naturals Raw Unsweetened Cacao Nibs- into the pan they went. I toasted them, vitamixed the crap out of them, followed your cacao bliss recipe (which I love btw) blending it all together in the vita… and finally I had the base chocolate in which to make this recipe! lol…
Ooh I hope it worked out!
This is fantastic! It’s my roommate’s birthday and she doesn’t like mint, so I changed it into a coconut fudge pie…used coconut extract and shredded coconut on top. AMAZING. Thank you.
Love your recipes! My birthday is on Friday and I will deffinantly be making one of your amazing recipes! Thanks a bunch!
Aw happy early birthday!
Oh I’m dyiiing Katie. This looks so intense.
I love Algebra, but absolutely despised geometry. I missed one class when we went over how to do proofs, and it was all over from there.
This looks amazing! I was originally going to write a post about this terribly indulgent st patty’s cupcake but upon reviewing the recipe, I just couldn’t do it! I decided to write about healthier recipes I plan on making this year and I’m including yours. I can’t wait to try it!!!
Did you use firm or silken tofu for the one in your picture?
Mori-Nu silken-firm
This looks too good to eat Katie! Can you tell me what you use for the base? Is there some you have here on the site?
Thanks Hun 🙂
It was store-bought, but this is a great recipe for “crust” if you want to go homemade: https://lett-trim.today/2009/11/08/homemade-cashew-cookie-larabars/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
Awesome Katie! Thanks for that.. & its so easy to make too! My hubby is going to be so impress tomorrow night 🙂
I’m so excited! I made 8 mini pies with the cashew cookie larabars as the base, so we’ll see how they are tonight! The bowl tasted soooo good 😛
I’m a math teacher and every PI Day I bring in mini pies for my students….using a cupcake pan. This year it falls on Spring Break but my kiddos will have a special mint surprise when they come back!
I’m down with anything involving mint – especially when it also involves chocolate! Been looking for a good dessert for St. Patrick’s Day and this just might be it!
I read this post yesterday and when I realized I had almost all the ingredients on hand, I just needed tofu and pie crust, I ran to the store and bought them. This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO yum. And perfectly rich and chocolatey. My husband even loved it and told every one you’d never know it was tofu. So good!!
