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.

This looks amazing! I just might have to make this for St. Patrick’s Day! For Pi Day I made an apple cider cream pie… so yummy!
This looks so delicious! I know toy have had some “paleo” treats on your blog before…. I’ve been following :] What could I substitute for the 1 (12.3 oz) package Mori-Nu or Mori-Nu lite silk-firm tofu? That is Paleo?
Sorry, I don’t really know much at all about the paleo diet.
Mmm looks good! What kind of tofu did you use for the pie in the pics?
I made this today and it is delicious!! Thanks!
Just about to make this, but I have one little questions (or two little questions, really); how long will it keep in the fridge and can I freeze it?
4-5 days? Sorry, I don’t know about the freezing thing.
Ah, that’s perfect actually! I was just wondering, but I just got done making it and I don’t think it will last that long :p
I was just wondering something about the extract. This is a mint ‘pie’, but you use peppermint extract. What’s the difference between mint and peppermint extracts?
Completely different taste!
Would you (or anyone else, for that matter) mind giving me an example or two of the tastes? Like, for mint extract would that be like mint chocolate chip ice cream, or an andes mint chocolate candy? And for peppermint, like a candycane? Sorry, it’s just something I’ve always wondered about!
LOVE this idea, I love mint chocolate anything. So going to make this tomorrow. Also to answer the question, no, I’m pretty awful at math. Well, once I got it it was okay, but I really didn’t like the class so I rarely paid attention or tried hard. I also hating working the problems on my own. I like math better now though and I was actually only good at pre-calc, not so good at algebra and didn’t take calculus. I like simple math though now, fractions and proportions and basic algebra. It’s fun when making things (or baking! Yum. Tasty math is the best of all).
Hey Katie, love your blog! I know you’re not a calorie-counter, but I was wondering what you do/how you calculate your calories? 🙂 thanks so much!
Hi there, Sarah! I’m obviously not Katie, but I know of a fantastic website to help you out with your counting. Just enter any recipe in the box, though may involve a little bit of tweaking with the wording (for example, it doesn’t register ‘and’. Instead of 1 and 1/2 cup, just enter 1.5c) Nothing too much, though, and once you get used to the site it’s really simple.

I used to do it by hand, quickly. But once people started clamoring for all the info (carbs, protein, etc.) I switched to the spark people recipe calculator. Much faster than doing it all out by hand!
I’m guessing that the info for this and the original chocolate pie does not include the pie crust, given that the recipe doesn’t give the ingredients for pastry?
I am not a pastry fan so would probably make this as a mint choc mousse anyway 🙂
These look amazing! I’m eyeing that chocolate fudge pie!
I have to try this! Thanks for including the alternative to the soy…I’m deathly allergic, but still want to try it out!
