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’m not really a big fan of soy in any form. can i substitute the soy with something else?
Yes :). See the very last link on the post.
Hi Katie – just want to let you know I made this for the first time this past weekend to bring to my parent’s country house for dessert and everyone loved it, the parents and the boyfriend..they were so impressed and could not believe there was tofu in it..and it was so easy to make! I loved it..next time I’m going to do only 1 tbsp agave because it was just a little too sweet for me…but wow what a chocolatey fudgey and good for you treat! I’m not vegan but I love all your dessert recipes, and I think some of the best desserts I have ever made have been vegan! The best banana bread I ever made was a Vegan Pineapple Coconut Banana Bread, I did not share that with anyone! LOL. I also I have really enjoyed being a part time vegetarian and eating a lot less meat. Thanks for all the great recipes!

Aw wow, thank you for such a sweet comment! I’m so excited when someone tries a recipe and it’s a success :).
Hi Katie!
I’m not sure if this question was already asked, but there are so many comments! Anyway, it looks like this is pictured with a graham cracker crust. Is the nutritional information with or without that crust?
Thanks!
I tried this tonight and it is SO GOOD. I’m breastfeeding my son who has a severe milk protein allergy, so I have to avoid milk completely. I sooooo miss things like mousse and delicious desserts and I was so afraid this was going to be one of those “kinda like the real thing if you pretend a little” desserts. This is the REAL DEAL. I made an Oreo crust (vegan and therefore dairy-free), used 1/2 tsp. stevia extract as my sweetener, and substituted 2 Tbsp. coffee for the choice of milk. I ate 2 pieces and I am desperately trying to resist the rest!
So, I hate cooking. I mean, HATE IT. And I REALLY suck at eating healthy, although I often try. BUT, I really wanted to try this….oh my word, it was SO good! I have never used tofu, or agave…typically, it’s heavy cream, butter, powdered sugar, etc for dessert making. But this was SO easy to make and ended up SO good. My kids were so excited about it and ate it, which made me laugh that they were getting so much good protein! I did also try to make the coconut milk whipping cream…I have to go find the sugar you talked about–I don’t obviously have that. But, I am looking forward to trying some of you other dinner recipes on here, as well as your vanilla chai milkshake. I’ve already posted several of these on my facebook page as things I would like to try. So, thanks for making cooking somewhat exciting for me, as well as a little bit healthier!
Aw I’m so glad you liked it! I actually hate cooking too! Weird, I know… but that’s why all my recipes are fast and don’t have a lot of ingredients. I get overwhelmed when recipes have long lists of ingredients or take hours to make. I hate to cook, but I love to eat ;).
I know you hear this a lot from readers, but I love your blog. My daughter is almost 3 and it’s virtually impossible to get good food into that child – or was impossible, until I found you! I made this pie and she had no idea she was scarfing down tofu! (And the deep dish cookie pie – genius. She definitely had no clue she was eating chickpeas.) Anyway, I was making this pie and wanted something for a “crust” and happened to have a few chocolate cupcakes (your recipe, of course) leftover. I crumbled them into a pie pan and then spread the awesome tofu fudginess over the crumblies. It. Was. Awesome. What could be better than cake and fudge???
Oh, thanks for such a fun idea. I love it! 🙂 🙂
Katie,
Just wondering where I might have gone wrong with this pie.I don’t mean to be rude,but I always double check calorie counts when it comes to desserts,simply because I love them,and want to get as much them,with as few calories, as possible So I counted the calories for this pie both by calculator,and on sparkspeople.com,with their recipe calculator.I came up with over double the calorie count that you did.302 calories per slice,at 8 slices.Even without the crust I came up with 180 calories per slice.Can you help me out here?Did you use sugar free chocolate chips?
I think I’ve addressed this somewhere in the comments’ section in more depth. But in short: the Mori Nu tofu has fewer calories.
Hi!!
This is the first recipe I’ve tried from you and I’m not disappointed. I’m always on the lookout for a low-calorie yet good dessert, esp chocolate ones because DUH chocolate is awesome. Chose this recipe because it was simple. Im a student at a busy school period so I have no time to bake something complicated, yet my fingers were itching to bake.
Using tofu is so clever, never used it before! Asked my mom about it and she gave me a puzzled look. Lol. I had good reviews for this recipe, and my non-chocoholic partner even said that it was too chocolatey. What blasphemy, there’s no such thing as thaaat.
Thanks for the recipe and sorry for the long msg hehe. It’s just that you sounded like a friendly person 🙂

Haha never apologize for long comments! They’re my favorites :). It always makes me happy when one of the recipes works out well for someone.
Hey Katie:
Do you think it would be possible to make this more Raw-ish with cacao powder and dates instead of chocolate chips?
Thanks.
-Josh
Make this instead ;).

Silly, of course I know about that one! I’ve read all your recipes!
I just love the idea of the tofu… I was wondering if you thought there might be a way to make it without chocolate chips…
I made this tonight on a whim…it is very good! I did a store-bought pastry crust and added a tsp of pure almond extract, as well…yum! I made my husband guess for an hour what the “secret ingredient” is…and he finally guessed tofu! haha. He is not a tofu eater normally and was surprised how much he liked it! 🙂 Someone would never know otherwise!
