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!!

My dad and I tried this pie and it was wonderful!
Our only problems had to do with the consistency. The pie melted as soon as we took it out of the freezer so we had to gobble it up fast! But we had no complaints! It tasted perfect.
Next time we make it we’re going to use better quality chocolate chips and FIRM tofu instead of silken. I think that will work out a lot better!
Thanks for this great post!
… Pardon me for asking, but how much tofu in one package>? I accidently bought a 530gram package, and I’m beginning to think it’s too much. I don’t want too much tofu taste. How much did you use?
About 340g, or 12.3 oz
Could you do a recipe for a healthy pie crust pleeease!? 🙂
I have one posted: https://lett-trim.today/2012/05/13/ridiculously-easy-chocolate-pie-crust/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
There’s a plain graham cracker-type one going in my cookbook as well. 🙂
I made this yesterday using cacao because I didn’t know chocolate chips (dark, semi sweet) have milk and/or milk fat in them. It was really bitter and no matter how much extra agave I added, it didn’t help. The nutrional info on the chocolate chips said “contains less than 2% milk” and I am not gluten or dairy free but am making this for a group of women where some of them do have allergies. Since there is so little milk/milkfat in the chips, does it still count as dairy free? The party is in 1 1/2 weeks so I have time to find a different recipe but I really liked this one and know it would be delicious if I could use regular chocolate. Thanks!
No, if it has dairy it is NOT dairy free. Try Whole Foods brand or Enjoy Life brand or even the gold package of Ghirardelli. Or google “vegan chocolate bars” for brand ideas, and use chopped up chocolate bars instead :).
I make this pie all the time and love it. Today, I decided to add a tsp of cinnamon because I was in the mood for Mexican chocolate. OMG. It’s to die for. You should try it!
does this freeze well?
I don’t think so.
So excited I found your site! I am currently on a health quest, but don’t want to feel like I’m missing out on all the fun. Your recipes show me that I can still have fun with my foods :).
I am going to make this pie to take to a friends place this weekend. I’m going to keep the tofu a secret and see what they think hehe. Then I tell them after they eat it :).
Thanks again CCK! Keep the amazing recipes coming!
This IS the best pie EVER!!!! I am glad I found it.
And Happy Birthday!
this looks too good, definitely making it this afternoon(‘: can’t wait to try this ‘ultimate non- healthy tasting dessert’!
Every birthday, I end up with a cake, even though I’m not a big fan of cake and after half a slice it pretty much goes to waste. One time my step-mother made me an apple pie, but that was it. I think this might be the new birthday tradition!
I might even make this today just because I can!
