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!!

I just got done making this! It tasted so good..so i cant wait for a piece of it later! Im changing my life eating very healthy and have lost 19 almost 20 pounds since Jan.17th. But im a total chocolate lover I LOVE your blog thank you for the great recipes so i can still indulge but feel way better afterwards! Oh and I used dark chocolate chips my fav kind. 🙂
This ‘pie’ is delicious! However, since I used Silken Tofu, it was more like a mouse. So we ate it cute little cups instead of as a slice. Now, I have one tiny issue with it. When you pour molten chocolate in a roomtemperature mixture, it coagulates very quickly. I ended up with a lot of hard chocolate on the bottom and sides of my blender. And after chilling, I noticed that the chocolate made the entire mixture gritty, not mousse or fudge soft. The taste was still terrific, but my husband was a bit put off by it, even though it was gritty chocolate.
I didn’t use extra sugar, the callebaut dark chocolate callets I used were sugary enough (bit too sweet even). The tofu taste was hardly noticable.
Hmmm… weird :-?. I’ve never had that problem with the chocolate. I’m glad you still liked it anyway!
Happy Birthday!
Two questions:
1) does the calorie count include the pie crust?
2) what pie crust recipe did you use/would you recommend using for this recipe?
Just in response to my previous post, I found this recipe for a fat-free pie crust. I haven’t tried it yet but will let you know the results!

I just made this pie and wanted to let you know how amazing it is! (but you already know that!) I used a store-bought Oreo crust (they are vegan, yay!) and my beloved, who is not officially vegan, but is when he’s with me because that’s the only kind of food I make for us, had no clue there was tofu in it nor did he ask nor did he care. He just ate it and loved it, as did I.
The best part is how thick it gets which makes it so easy to cut! (pies are usually kind of hit-and-miss in that regard). Just wanted to thank you for such a great recipe!
Hi Katie, this pie is absolutely amazing! I’m so happy to find a recipe that’s healthy AND tastes amazing, I think this will definitely become a regular, I can’t rave about it enough! I made a base for it out of crushed oreos which was nice but I think I’ll follow your lead and make a crustless version next time, the filling is definitely the best part! Keep up the good work, I love your blog.
Wow this cake looks amazing! I wonder if a thin layer of cherry compote on top would be a nice addition. What do you think? I feel like I might need some fruit with all the chocolate… : )
That sounds really good to me!
Great! I just made the chocolate fudge and so far it’s more than delicious…. I’ll try the cherry topping right NOW and tell you how it turned out tomorrow! : )
You have to try it with cherry-compote on top, it’s insanely delicious!
And no need for a crust, really… : )
Hey Katie! When you make this without a crust, do you use nonstick spray or how do you get it to come out of the pan?
I use a springform pan, so I just unleash the spring :).
Is “hard” tofu the same as “firm” tofu? All my grocery store had was medium or hard. Thanks…this recipe looks amazing and I am trying it tomorrow.
I use Mori-Nu, silken-firm (it’s not in the fridged section). But yes, hard should work! ust be sure to drain well… and only use 12 oz, not 14.
I made this today and it turned out wonderful! I accidentally left ouf 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips and it was still a success! Thanks so much for the recipe!
im sure everyone has been posting things like “everyone ate it and nobody noticed it was vegan!!!!!” or something, but im a teenager and i invited my friends over and offered them pie and each person had like two pieces!!!! they wouldn’t shut up about how good it was!!!!!!!!!!!! now i understand how good it feels to have someone like something of yours thats secretly vegan and not know it!!!! thanks Katie!!! this is my new favorite pie recipe
