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!!

Hi! Is there anything I could use instead of the tofu? Doesn’t matter if it’s healthy or not =x
There is a soy-free option listed at the bottom, if you read through to the end of the post.
I clicked on that and it took me to a completely different recipe… A raspberry chocolate fudge cake
This pie is AMAZING!!! Just sent it to some friends on a diet and they totally loved it!! Just wondering – can you freeze this recipe?
Thanks again!
I don’t think it freezes well.
Ok. So basically, if you love chocolate AND healthy eating, you need this pie. If you appreciate things that don’t seem like they should work but do (and oh, this really works), you need this pie. If you live with people who don’t believe that health food can be delicious food, you need to make this pie and give it to them, because they will be blown away! I made this with soft Mori-Nu silken tofu, and didn’t use a crust, so we just ate it as a mousse. If you use a crust, though, I think it would definitely work as a mousse pie. When I asked my dad what he guessed it was made of, before I spilled the beans, he guessed eggs and cream! It is truly delicious. It had no tofu flavor in the slightest, but you MUST use Mori-Nu tofu… Other tofus do not blend nearly as well, flavor-wise. Also, I sweetened partially with some Better Stevia extract. My chocolate chips had some sugar, but to add just a little more sweetness, four drops of the extract were perfect, and the flavor was undetectable. I just love this recipe! Katie, you ALWAYS impress! 🙂
This was better than I had imagined. Mine turned the texture of icing when I refrigerated it. I’m eating it with a spoon since I didn’t make a pie but just put it in a container (like pudding). I think I will use this as a cake frosting. It’s way better than a margerine-based one would be. Thank you so much for the recipe. My daughter loved it, but my son thought it was too bitter. I used vegan semi-sweet chips. Next time I will make it with a different kind to see if it’s less bitter (even though I loved its bitterness). Also I agree it doesn’t really need the extra added sweetener. I used vegan sugar, but it would be great without. Having a bit of trouble putting it back in the fridge it’s that good. Thanks again!
How do I get this recipe?
Hi Connie,
I’m not really sure what you mean… The recipe is posted above in the post.
Yes, it lists the ingredients but not really the recipe. How to put it together. I have several recipes I want but can’t get them this way. Thanks Katie
I’m just really not sure what you mean 🙁
Here are the recipe instructions:
Melt the chocolate (either on the stove or in the microwave), then throw everything into a food processor and blend until super-smooth. Pour into a pie crust if desired. (I hate pie crust and therefore usually keep it crustless.) Fridge until chilled. This gets firmer and firmer, the longer it sits. (It’s firmer if you use firm tofu and more like mousse pie if you use silken.)
I apologize if someone has asked this already but the comments list is quite long and I’m looking for something rather specific. Have you or anyone else tried making this with an alternative tofu? Like Chickpea tofu? I’ve been personally trying to stay away from soy when I can but this recipe looks incredible and I don’t think I can help myself with trying it either way, just thought I’d ask 🙂
I just made this tonight and wow, it’s just like the chocolate mousse I remember from my vegetarian days. Thanks for this.
Happy Birthday 2011 and Happy Thanksgiving 2014! You saved my holiday with your pie recipe. I took a picture and will upload it if possible. I used regular tofu because I had it. Found your recipe just yesterday. I added a pinch of cinnamon and used agave plus carob chips. Mine is darker than yours, but yours couldn’t be any better than mine. IT IS DELICIOUS!
Thanks
A friend brought this to a dinner we had last night. IT WAS AMAZING! She said she got recipe on Chocolate Covered Katie- which I already follow so we were able to pass your blog along to a couple more guest. I will be making this for sure for Christmas parties!
Thank you for sharing this recipe! This is one of my new favorite desserts. Even my son likes it, which is saying a lot!!! Thank you for sharing your fantastic healthier dessert recipes. You are my go to website when looking for desserts. Have a blessed day:)
