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!!

Happy Birthday!
I also like pie for birthday celebrations, and I have one coming up in a few weeks- I’m going to try the chocolate fudge pie this year.
Love your blog!
Hey Katie,
I have a substitution question. I have been having a lot of fun making your recipes but my mother in law cannot have soy do to her thyroid medication. What can I substitute for tofu without adding lactose in any way? I made a delicious cashew ricotta cheese and she can’t have any (or this pie 🙁 ) due to the soy.
Just in case, the cashew ricotta recipe:

Thank you (or anyone else) for thinking out this for me!
There’s a soy-free version linked at the end of my post :).
So, I just served this amazing pie to my entire non-vegan, non-tofu family. We’re talking hubby, mom, dad, brother, sister and my two small children. I told no one what they were eating, and had to hide my smile while they ate it. They all LOVED it!! I served it in a graham cracker crust made with coconut sugar and coconut oil, and topped it with fresh raspberries. Everyone was licking their plates!! And they were FLOORED when I told them the truth (as we were clearing the table :)). Thank you so much for such an amazing recipe! I’ll never make a boring old pudding pie again!!!
Hi Katie. The pie looks amazing. Just wondering, can I use soymilk instead of regular milk? Definitely going to give this a try.
Of course. Milk of choice means whatever you wish to use. I usually use almond.
While I love the recipe, I have some gripes.(not entirely recipe related)
1. It’s a little bit tart, I added agave as well as sweetened chocolate chips, but it was still a bit off. My boyfriend tasted it and made the worst face. He ended up making me add more sugar (actual white sugar) and still said it had a strange taste that he couldn’t put his finger on.
2. I tried my blender for this, but it just wasn’t happening, it blended a little and then stopped working so I ended up digging through a million boxes to find my food processor, which finally worked.
3. The recipe is a little bit smaller than I expected, either I did something wrong or you have a very enlarged photo (I’m banking on the former).
4. This is just a personal gripe, but I’m angry, so I’m going to gripe. After my fiasco with the blenders and the boyfriend taste test I told him that I wasn’t making a crust, either we could have mousse or he could make the crust. He decided to make the crust and I was trying to find the recipe for the crust that just called for crackers and milk, but then he said that didn’t make any sense and started mixing his crust with butter and crackers and stuff and I’m just frustrated.
So, I know it’s not your recipes fault, but this pie has brought me all kinds of trouble today!
Regardless, I don’t hold you at fault, and thanks for being wonderful and innovative even though some people don’t seem to see it that way and think your recipes are silly =[

Happy (belated) birthday!!
I know I#m commenting on the wrong post but your recent post led me to this one.. However 🙂 i can’t decide on which pie to make next: Peanutbutter or Chocolate? DON’T ask me, I can’t decide anyways 😉
just one question: How many grams are in one package Mori-Nu? I can’t buy it here.
So i wish you a wonderful week and of course YEAR! :))
12.3 oz
Like 330g?
The exact recipe + a frozen banana = the ultimate banana-fudge pie!
For the fourth time I was making the recipe, I decided to be a bit adventurous, and what a delicious result! I sprinkled some coconut on top too, and it’s just wow!
What pie crust did you use for those pictures??
UNBELIEVABLE!!! I made your chocolate fudge pie last night, the one that is made with tofu, and my family could not believe it was made with tofu. My youngest saw me take the tofu out of the wrapper and actually said “I will never eat that stuff” but he had three servings of the finished product! The only thing I did different was a made a regular pie crust instead of the graham cracker. I brought the left overs to work today, let everyone have a bite before I told them what it was made out of and they were literally in awe when I told them the main ingredient was tofu and they all wanted the recipe. Your recipes are simply amazing and so healthy. I will definitely be using your site a lot!!
Aw Debbie, this made me so happy!
Katie i love your blog, and i also love chocolate!!!
Durring 7 years of being vegetarian/vegan I’ve never made anything with tofu before!,,,,So, I bought srpouted tofu just to try this, I dont know if its because the sprouted soy tofu, or the trader joes chocolate chips, but it did not taste at all like chocolate silk pie ..wich i miss dearly 🙁 even when the pie it became too sweet u could still taste tofuness,,,,anyway im freesing it into fudgesicles that I think will be ubber yummy. I love all your recipes except this and the healthy choclate cake,I firmly belive you should step it up on the chocolate! Chocolate donuts chocolate cheesecake chocolate milk……all that vegan stuff<3
If you can find the Mori-Nu, that’s what I use. People say it has MUCH less (if any at all) of an aftertaste. I’ve never heard of sprouted tofu, so I’m not sure how it’d work. Look for the Mori Nu (if you ever want to give this another try) in aseptic packages, in many grocery stores.
