Since I first posted the recipe back in 2011, so many people have made this secretly vegan pie that it has easily become one of the most popular recipes on my blog.
Readers from all over the world have tested it out on non-vegan friends and family members, with rave results!
Top with coconut whipped cream or Keto Ice Cream.
With just a few ingredients and barely any prep work, it’s no wonder the recipe is so popular!
Don’t let the secret ingredient scare you away – I’ve served this pie many, many times to non-vegetarians and people who have no interest in healthy desserts whatsoever, and even they go crazy for it every single time.
The pie is not only good for a healthy dessert, it is just really, ridiculously good!
No Bake Chocolate Pie
Adapted from my Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Pie
No Bake Chocolate Pie
Ingredients
- 12.3 oz silken or firm tofu (Soy-Free recipe here)
- 1 1/2 tsp cocoa powder
- 8-10 oz broken-up chocolate or 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk of choice
- scant 1/8 tsp salt
- 2-3 tbsp pure maple syrup or sweetener of choice
Instructions
Break up the chocolate and carefully melt, either on the stove or in the microwave. Then throw everything into a food processor and blend until completely smooth. Pour into a pie crust if desired. Refrigerate. It gets firmer the longer it sits and is firmer if you use firm tofu or more like mousse pie if you use silken. Have fun trying out different-flavored chocolate bars!
Recipe Of The Day:
I made the Chocolate Bar Pie for Easter, and it quickly became my favorite new dessert! Yummy
Hi Katie! I just made this chocolate pie (and it tastes AMAZING, by the way), but I’m a little confused by the calorie count. When I did the math, mine came to 305 per slice (205 without the crust). Should I have used unsweetened chocolate chips?
Hi Katie!
I’m a freshman in highschool, and I’m somewhat of a health food junkie! I’ve been a dancer for 12 years and so being healthy and in shape is very important to me.
Buuuuuut, I’m a teenage girl. I like dessert. A LOT.
I almost cried with joy when I found your blog! I’ve been baking like CRAZY. (Last night, I made your Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake, and it was gone in an hour! My dad and brother didn’t know what had hit them!)
I do have a concern though- I want SOOO badly to make this beautiful chocolate pie, but I’m soy free! 🙁 It’s come to my attention that soy isn’t exactly the best thing for you… Not saying you shouldn’t eat it, but many people react negatively to it, so I avoid it at all costs.
So my question is, is there a tofu substitute you recommend? I know tofu substitutes can be different depending on what you’re making, so how about having the substitutes on the side under each recipe? I’m sure lots of your readers would appreciate it!
Thanks so much! I LOVE this blog, and you! (Btw, I live in Dallas as well. That IS where you live, right? My mom sort of off handedly told me, hahaha!) 🙂

I do have another fudge cake that is completely free of soy and is just as good in its own right: https://lett-trim.today/2011/03/07/you-gotta-try-this/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
This was ok. I’ve always had issues using tofu in pies….I can always taste it. This was no different. I had to add more chocolate to cover up the tofu flavor. In the end I could still taste it. My daughter and I ate it anyway but its definitely not a pie I would take to a gathering or make again.
If you say it’s not a pie you’d take to a party, I can almost guarantee you did something wrong :(.
What tofu did you use and are you sure you only used 12.3 oz?
I actually used 12 ounces. Which anyone would figure the more tofu used the more tofu flavor. It should have turned out just fine. I suppose it’s simply the brand of tofu. Some are more tofuy than others. Mori Nu is mild in flavor. I use Sprouts tofu.
Sprouts makes silken firm tofu (i.e. not the fridged kind)?
No, I used the refrigerated kind.
Try the mori nu!!! So completely different! 🙂
OK cool. Will do 😉
Does anyone have a good vegan sugar-free pie crust recipe? Preferably a chocolate one 😛 But a regular one would do. I’m thinking of doing either this recipe or the “mint-chocolate fudge pie”. Oh & I live in Sweden, so I can’t find alot of specific american brands & such, so I’d probably need a recipe that has only like regular non-brand ingredients that you could find in a grocerie store almost anywhere. And once again: vegan, sugar-free, preferably chocolate, pie crust. I need to make it tomorrow, so fast replies would be helpful :3 Thanks.
Btw Katie, I tried your original fudge pie once. I COMPLETELY fucked up the recipe lmao but it still turned out pretty good. 🙂
I don’t… but apparently the commenter directly below you has one! Good timing, maybe?
Thanks
Katie, this is pure genius! I found a raw coconut pie crust recipe that I used with your filling, and it was just sensational. I just posted the crust recipe on my blog, if you are interested. I know you don’t like crust, but, as I noted in my blog, this crust tastes like what would happen if Larabars and crust had a baby! Thank you for sharing your wonderful creations.
It looks delicious! And lol the person right above you asked for a pie crust recipe, so I told her about yours :).
Can you make this substituting something instead of the tofu?

CCK! WE LOVE YOU!! I have made this recipe 3 times in the past week!! Everyone has LOVED it!! Keep the delicious recipes coming!!!
i’ve made this so many times and it’s awesome! my boyfriend loved it, my roommate and his son loved it and no one suspects tofu or can believe the ingredients! i made it with a gluten-free crust a couple days ago for a few friends at work and everyone ended up trying a piece and loving it! i left with an empty pie plate!
My mom absolutely LOVES all things chocolate. I might have to make this for her and *accidentally* forget to mention that I added tofu. 😉
So I know this recipe has been up here for a while, but I just got around to making it…I can ‘t believe I waited so long–absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for your recipes, it has helped me realize I can still be healthy AND get my serious chocolate fix!
I tricked my dinner guests with this recipe! I made a crust using your fudge babies recipe but used hazlenuts. It was like a ferrero rocher pie!
Loved this Katie…..I so appreciate your blog and this pie is wonderful. I used stevia with special dark bars and it was divine. Hugs <3
So I finally found MoriNu firm silken tofu yesterday in the Czech grocery store and I was overjoyed!!! You should’ve heard my ecstatic cry of joy to my mom when I saw it in the foreign foods section. I came home and made this right away, and it made the world of a difference using MoriNu as opposed to the organic stuff we buy in plastic packaging. Thank you for this recipe! It’s sooooo good as made by your exact instructions. 🙂
Made this pie last night…holy cow! I was very skeptical about the tofu, but I shouldn’t have feared- it’s wonderful!
I know it’s unrelated but Katie, have you considered having a youtube channel? Have a short 15 minute or even less of you putting things together with closeups on your food – so peeps (like me) have a better grasp on things like consistency and so on and so forth.
I know its probably too much work for you – however it seems like a natural course of things 🙂 With you getting your cookbook going soon and what not. I (one for loving having my fav recipes written down) already have a little box with bunch of cards with your recipes on them. Can’t wait for the book.
Aw thanks. 🙂 I just need more hours in the day.
