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! ANd that looks amazing!
Happy Birthday! I make my own birthday cake 🙂 This year I made Angela’s (Oh She Glows) Healthy Blueberry Chocolate Glaze Cake: nobody believed it was healthy and my friends loved it so much I had to make another for a friend’s birthday a few weeks later. Yay for “do not taste healthy” desserts! 😀
Have a great birthday, you lovely, lovely person 🙂 xxx
Ooh wow, that sounds good! I don’t think I ever saw that recipe, although I do pop in to Angela’s blog from time to time. I love her photos :).
I feel a little like I’m spamming you 😀 but here’s the link in case you’d like to check it out: http://ohsheglows.com/2010/07/25/healthy-blueberry-chocolate-glaze-cake/
I think it’s similar to something you’d make, especially with the glaze being made of nothing but coconut oil and chocolate chips! Angela has a beautiful picture of a little slice of it next to a pool of peanut butter banana soft serve, which, if I’d like to dive into it, I’m sure you would too! 😀
Happy birthday! September is such a neat month for birthdays hehe 😀
I hope you have a great time today! <3
wow HAPPY 25th!!! I remember reading about your 21st birthday, I can’t believe it’s been that long. Do you drain out all the water from the tofu or can you just drain off the excess water and use it? I love that this is gluten free and incredibly quick, I’m bookmarking this recipe I’m so excited to try it!!
I can’t believe I’ve been blogging that long! Thanks for the reminder… I am going to have to go back and read those posts. I seem to remember something about having hot-pink cake!
Happy Birthday! I have only found one gluten-free cake that is also free of everything else I’m intolerant of so I made one for myself on my last birthday. Unfortunately that cake is also not in any way low in calories or fat and I ate almost the entire thing myself. It is THAT good. So good where I am fully willing to eat only veggies for the rest of the day just so I can eat more cake!
(Thanks so much for the link to the soy-free version!!)
Happy Birthday Katie!! ^^
That pie looks delicious! My birthday is in 2 months, and instead of buying a cake (filled with white flour, white sugar, etc.), I’m deciding to make my own (sucks for me, the birthday-gal on my birthday, but I don’t mind ^^). Originally, I was going to make cupcakes with frosting (something I never make) but I think I’ll make this instead!…or…maybe I’ll just make this every weekend ;D
I’ve never tried tofu before….but this might be a first. Any ideas about replacing the choc chips? I’m allergic to the milk/butter, and can’t have sugar. Happiest day ever and huge chocolate birthday hugs to you….signed, your new fan.
Hmmm… here are some ideas I thought up:
1. Use 8oz of a sugar-free chocolate bar in place of the chips (I think they sell some sweetened with xylitol)
2. SunSpire grain sweetened chocolate chips with no cane sugar
3. Use unsweetened baking chocolate, and just add extra sweetener (stevia, agave, or whatever your diet allows) to taste
4. Make the version I linked to at the very bottom of today’s post. It’s sweetened only with banana :).
Thank you Katie….You’re wonderful!
YOU are wonderful. Chocolate hugs!!!
Happy birthday Katie!! The pie looks divine!
This looks pretty good – I’ll definitely have to give it a try. I was a big fan of the garbanzo bean blondies 🙂 Just a question on your nutritional stats: What are you considering a serving size? I didn’t see it stated there. I’m guessing 1/8 of the pie b/c that’s how you cut it in the picture – but I was just hoping for clarification. Thanks and Happy B-day!!!
Oh wow, I am such a dork! Haha I meant to include that! Yes, it’s 8 servings. My mom says the cake is so dense it could be ten. And I say it’s so GOOD it should be 6. But I calculated it based on 8 servings ;).
wow, that looks delicious!
i wish you a happy happy birthday!! enjoy your day!
