P.S. Thanks to all who now follow me on Pinterest!
What if I told you that in less than ten minutes, you can make this homemade chocolate fudge pie:
What if I told you that this chocolate fudge pie is…
- Dangerously rich and delicious
- Much healthier than it tastes – and lower in calories!
- Did I mention it only has 6 ingredients?
Warning: If you bring this chocolate pie to parties, people will devour every last chocolatey bite. And then they’ll realize they’re about to choke from gobbling it up so fast they forgot to stop and breathe. Sounds intense… but don’t worry. If you make this, you will never bring it to a party.
You won’t want to share.
The ultimate “does not taste healthy” dessert.
Even my health-food-hating friends like this pie. Actually, I don’t know a single person who doesn’t! If you’re looking for a healthy dessert to bring to a party that does NOT taste healthy, this is the dessert to bring.
Well, maybe this pie and the Deep Dish Cookie Pie.
My friends say it’s a tie. I say this pie wins.
Today is my birthday! Someone suggested I should take the day off from blogging. But that’d be no fun. You know what would be fun? Sharing one of my absolute favorite recipes in the whole wide world!
The Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Pie
The Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Pie
Ingredients
- 12.3 oz silken or firm tofu (I highly recommend Mori-Nu silken-firm for no aftertaste)
- 1 1/2 tsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk of choice
- scant 1/8 tsp salt
- 8 to 10 oz chocolate chips (about 1 1/2 cups or more)
- 2-3 tbsp sweetener of choice (If you are used to less-sweet desserts, you can omit)
- optional: extracts, flavorings, or liqueurs
Instructions
Carefully melt the chocolate (either on the stove or in the microwave – google how to melt chocolate), then throw everything into a food processor and blend until super-smooth. Pour into a pie crust if desired. 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.
I promise you, everyone will rave about it, and no one will believe it has tofu!!

Hey! Happy belated birthday! Also, I just made this. It is FAAANTASTIC!!! First time using tofu as a pudding base, and I am sold. Thank you!!
Aw yay! I am so excited you liked it!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
I don’t want to go to town for chocolate chips, do you think this could be made with white chocolate?
I was just wondering the same thing about peanut butter chips! If you do try it with white chocolate, let me know how it turns out! 🙂
I didn’t have much luck, although the birthday boy loved it. I’m not good at melting the chips. They went from not melted to burned in one second. I had some chocolate syrup that I used for half of the sweetner. It was not very firm, maybe I shold have fixed it the day before serving.
Hi Cindy,
Yes melting chocolate can be very very tricky!
It does get thick overnight, but it should be pretty firm right away. Maybe your pie lacked firmness because of the extra chocolate syrup in place of the more-dense chocolate chips? (And make sure you’re not using soft tofu. I recommend Mori-Nu firm or Mori-Nu lite firm.)
Just made this tonight with a friend and we were IMPRESSED! So yummy. We couldn’t wait for it to chill so ate it at a mousse-like consistency – I’m hoping it’ll get fudgier overnight but maybe I didn’t squeeze enough moisture out of the tofu. This was at least as good as any “regular” chocolate pie I’ve ever had and so cheap! I didn’t know tofu was so inexpensive. I will definitely be making this again for a crowd, and will have to add a crust, but I def don’t think it needed any extra sweetener, and like it just the way it was – super dark and rich. Can’t wait to try more of your recipes now!
Hi Violet! 🙂
It does get firmer as it sits… but I’m thinking maybe we used different types of tofu? Was yours firm or soft? If you can find Mori-Nu silken-firm or lite silken-firm, I recommend those. You definitely get more of a cream pie if you use soft tofu.
I am so so glad you liked it!
Happy Belated Birthday! The pie looks delicious, of course.
I almost always go out for a birthday dinner with the family, and usually end up ordering dessert when I’m out, but sometimes don’t. The restaurant always changes, because I think it’s boring to go to the same place every year.
I made this yesterday. I agree that the agave didn’t have to be, but tasted good with it! Great, I’m recommending this recipe all over 🙂
I am so honored you tried it! It’s one of my favorite things, so I’m really glad when others like it too!
I tried your pie last week and it was wonderful. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Aw thank you for trying it!! 🙂
I was skeptical, because I have tried other tofu desserts before and I can always taste a weird aftertaste. But I read all the comments above mine and everyone seemed to like it… So I figured I’d give it a shot! I AM SO GLAD I DID! Katie, this is my new favorite dessert EVER! I am in love with a pie! My boyfriend doesn’t mind, though… Because he likes it too!
Yes, a meat and potatoes boy likes this tofu pie. Everyone, go make this now! It is SO GOOD!
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen silken-firm tofu. I have two packages at home right now – firm and silken lite. Do you think one of these would work? Or maybe half of each!
I think both will work, but it depends on what kind of pie you want. If you want a denser pie (more like fudge pie), go with the firm. Just be sure to drain it first. If you want more of a chocolate cream pie (that needs a crust), use the silken :).
I went with the silken tofu and it was AMAZING! My boyfriend could not guess the “secret ingredient” and when I told him it was tofu, he said he never would have thought that! We both loved it by the way. It tastes just like chocolate mousse!
I am SO glad it worked with the silken tofu! And even more glad your boyfriend liked it… it passed the test hehe :).
This looks great, although, what would you suggest for a pie crust? Any ideas? My friends like pie, but the crust is the best part! Also, I think I might try adding a little greek yogurt to the mix!
I hate pie crust, so I don’t have any good recipes to give you :(. But I’m sure you can google and find some good recipes… or, you can always opt for a store-bought graham cracker crust.
