A Silky Smooth No-Bake Dessert<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere’s a lot I love about this silken tofu chocolate pie—it’s a fuss-free dessert, the ingredients are straightforward, and I don’t have to turn on my oven. It’s a lot like my No-Bake Chocolate Raspberry Tart<\/a> but with a stronger chocolatey taste. After all, I aim to please the chocolate lovers of the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mousse-like chocolate cream filling is the shining star of this dessert. While melted chocolate and a splash of coffee add decadence, silken tofu is the secret miracle worker that gives the filling a light airiness without any tofu flavor! Layered in the simple date, walnut, and cacao pie crust, you’ll swoon over every bite.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Ingredients for Vegan Chocolate Pie<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Making this fuss-free vegan chocolate pie recipe at home is a breeze and only requires 9 ingredients<\/strong>. You probably have a lot of these in your pantry already:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"ingredients$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n
Medjool dates<\/strong>: The naturally gluten-free chocolate pie crust is held together with pitted Medjool dates. Please only use Medjool dates; Deglet noor dates are not as gooey and will not bind the crust ingredients as well. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Walnuts<\/strong>: Make sure you use raw walnut pieces. Roasted and\/or salted walnuts will affect the flavor of the pie crust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cacao powder<\/strong>: It wouldn’t be a double chocolate chocolate pie without the cacao powder in the pie crust! Go ahead and use cocoa powder if that’s what you already have at home.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Dairy-free chocolate chips<\/strong>: I recommend making the filling with chocolate chips rather than a chopped chocolate bar. Chocolate chips are processed with a food-grade wax that yields a thicker, firmer, and more sliceable chocolate filling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Silken tofu<\/strong>: Firm-style silken tofu is the base of the vegan chocolate cream filling. You can use fresh silken tofu (refrigerated) or a softer variety but the filling may not turn out to be as firm or thick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Coffee<\/strong>: Freshly brewed coffee is my secret to taking many vegan chocolate desserts<\/a> over the top. You don’t actually taste the coffee in the dessert; instead, it enriches the chocolate flavor and makes every bite taste that much more decadent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n
Soak<\/strong> the dates for a few minutes, then drain the water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Blitz<\/strong> the walnuts, cacao powder, and salt in a food processor. Add the dates and pulse<\/strong> again until well combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Press<\/strong> the crust into the prepared pie or tart pan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Melt<\/strong> the vegan chocolate chips in the microwave or a double boiler until smooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, blend<\/strong> the silken tofu, non-dairy milk, coffee, vanilla, and salt in the same food processor until smooth. Finish by blending in the melted chocolate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Pour<\/strong> the chocolate pie filling into the pan with the crust and smooth<\/strong> out the top with a spatula.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Let the pie chill<\/strong> in the fridge or freezer until the filling sets, then enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
Caitlin’s Cooking Tips<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Use clean and damp fingers when pressing the crust into the pie plate<\/strong>. This will prevent it from sticking to your hands!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The assembled pie needs to chill for at least 4 hours in the fridge<\/strong>. If you need it even sooner, place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
For the cleanest pie slices<\/strong>, use a sharp chef’s knife and run the blade under warm running water after each slice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Serving Suggestions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This dessert is rich and fancy as-is, so you don’t need to go all out with the toppings. Still, there’s nothing wrong with a dollop of coconut whipped cream on top of each slice! For a little more sophistication, add chocolate curls, flaky salt, fresh raspberries, orange zest, or fresh mint leaves on top as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Store Vegan Chocolate Pie<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Once set, cover the pie or individual slices in a layer of plastic or an airtight container. The leftovers will stay fresh and creamy for up to 5 days in the fridge or 2 months in the freezer.<\/p>\n\n\n
Substitutions and Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
Walnu<\/strong>t: The pie crust can be made with almonds or pecans instead of walnuts. For a nut-free option, use pumpkin seeds. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cacao Powder<\/strong>: Cocoa powder will work, too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Recipe FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Is this dessert gluten-free?<\/strong><\/strong>
Yes! Neither the filling nor crust contain wheat, making this chocolate pie naturally gluten-free.<\/p> <\/div>
Does chocolate pie taste like tofu?<\/strong><\/strong>
This is a tofu chocolate pie, but NO, it does not actually taste like tofu. Rather, silken tofu gives the filling an airy, mousse-like texture and helps it firm up and hold its shape when chilled.<\/p> <\/div>
Why didn’t my filling set?<\/strong><\/strong>
A soft filling is a telltale sign that the pie hasn’t finished chilling yet. Be patient! While 4 hours in the fridge or 2 hours in the freezer is usually enough time for the chocolate-tofu filling to firm up, sometimes it needs a bit longer. For the best results, allow the pie to chill overnight.<\/p> <\/div>
What can I use instead of tofu in this vegan chocolate pie?<\/strong><\/strong>
I have only tested this chocolate pie with firm-style silken tofu. Unfortunately, I can’t guarantee that another substitute would work.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
