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!

That looks.. .orgasmic… haha! ☺
yum!
Hey Katie! I made this yesterday without crust and while it was very tasty, the shape didn’t hold to actually cut it like a pie. Do you have this problem? We basically had to scoop it out with a spoon to eat it! Also, I added peppermint extract and it was yummy!
What tofu did you use? If you use silken, it will definitely be more like cream pie.
Also, I would love to know how much peppermint extract you used! I’ve been meaning to try that variation!
I did use silken. The texture was def amazing, prob I need to have a crust if I want to eat like a pie? Literally scooping it our if the pie pan with a fork as we speak. So creamy! In terms of mint extract, a little goes a LONG way. I didnt really measure but probably used about 1/8 tsp. You can always put a little it, blend and taste the batter to see I’d you prefer more 🙂

Katie,
Love your website, I have made a number of your recipes and I so appreciate that you include caloric information and substitutions for nonfat versions! Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I made this recipe with some alterations and it turned out FANTASTIC! I used extra firm tofu, and then froze it in a shallow dish. Once it was frozen, I topped it with some sea salt and cut it up into small squares. It is so good, like an extra creamy, extra chocolate ice cream bar! I took those to a party and they were a huge hit with the chocolate lovers! So I went home and made a batch just for me! Thank you for the awesome dessert, now I want to figure out a way to add some vegan caramel flavor… (make it a very special treat)
Oh wow, Janet, that sounds SO good! If you ever figure out the caramel, you’d better let me know! I want some, too :).
Okay, I’m new to veganism and new to this blog (which I absolutely LOVE!), but aren’t those chocolate chips NOT vegan? I thought that they had milk fats and things that came from animals. Correct me if I’m wrong, but when I saw this I thought, “Hmmm, that’s not vegan.” Regardless, I’m still going to make it 🙂 It looks so yummy!
Actually, many brands of chocolate chips are vegan :). Usually I’ll buy whatever vegan brand is cheapest, including: Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet (the ones in the gold package), Enjoy Life, Whole Foods brand, Sunspire, some generic brands, Divvies, etc. Or, I sometimes even use Ghirardelli 100% baking discs or broken up chocolate bars (in different flavors), just for fun.
I just maid this pie and it wasnt very tasty. I had very high hopes for it from reading the comments 🙁 It had a strong tofu flavor. I even added chocolate sauce, peanut butter powder and malt powder and it was just tasting funky. I`ll stick to the deep dish cookie pie- that one never goes wrong!!
Hi Brooke,
Are you sure you measured everything correctly? And did you use only 12oz tofu (as opposed to an entire 16oz block)? Also, what brand of tofu did you use? And did you melt the chocolate chips? It should NOT have any tofu aftertaste, even to people who hate tofu.
wow! my kid better grow out of his soy allergy pronto! so that i can make this. I’m drooling as i write.
I made these today for our Thanksgiving tomorrow. I actually used a dark chocolate bar with chilis and baked mini pies by putting pie crusts in cupcake tins. I topped them with whipped cream. Woah! I had to try one tonight, and the texture is unbelievable! The chili spice is quite nice, too. Looking forward to baking more and more from your site!
I made your pie for my Thanksgiving dessert along with my first vegan, non-soy pumpkin pie. And I could not stop eating the chocolate pie (the pumpkin pie is good too and everyone ate it up). My 16 year old son and I LOVE this pie. It is now our favorite. Thank you so much! I am grateful for you as this is the first Thanksgiving in about 5 years that I’ve had dessert!
Katie, the 143 calorie count is with or without a crust?
Anyway, I made this today with milk chocolate and I was AMAZED! No one in my family likes tofu, but they all liked the pie! Thanks for posting this up!
I didn’t provide a crust recipe, so it’s for the filling alone.
Just made this/ate it…very good:) (but i am also a tofu/healthy food fan.)
