This vegan pie recipe can be made in less than 15 minutes flat, with only 5 ingredients that you’re likely to already have on-hand and a blender.

This pie is a silken tofu recipe, and it was inspired by my chocolate mousse dessert when I needed to take a sweet dish to a family gathering recently. I’ll just go ahead and tell you now, it was a huge hit!
You’ll love this vegan pie because it’s…
- Chocolaty
- Creamy
- Perfectly sweet
- Requires no cooking
- Only 5 ingredients
- Low-fat
- Vegan
- Oil-free
- Insanely delicious

For the family dinner, I decided to make the mousse and pour it into a graham cracker crust. And, since this recipe was first published back in 2015, I’ve come up with my own oil-free pie crust recipe.
I’ve taken this chocolate vegan pie to many events over the years, with no leftovers coming back home with me. I would call that a plant-based success!

How to make no-bake vegan pie
A full list of ingredients, measurements, instructions, and a print button can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of the page.
The most important thing for this recipe is the type of tofu. Choose a firm or extra firm silken tofu for this filling so it will have a nice mousse-like consistency for a pie.
Open tofu containers and drain and press the water from the tofu.
Add the first 4 ingredients (5 if using peanut butter or PB2) to a blender and blend until smooth. Using a dry sweetener will make pie more firm.

Using a dry sweetener will make pie more firm. It may be necessary to add a splash of plant milk such as almond or soy milk to the blender to allow it to blend well, but don’t add more than a few tablespoons because you want this to be nice and thick.
Vegan pie crust options
Once the mousse is blended well, pour the chocolate mixture into a vegan graham cracker crust or try my new oil-free chocolate pie crust.
The finished crust is only lightly sweet and, in my opinion, it’s even better when the pie is made the day before because the pie filling has a chance to marry-up with the crust flavors.
Place the pie in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight to firm up. Serving the next day is perfect!
Top with fresh berries or non-dairy chocolate chips and serve chilled.

When I take it to social functions, it disappears very quickly. I know I will be lucky to get a thin little slice because it is always gone within minutes, and I am not kidding.
Twice now, my husband was not fast enough, and it was gone before he made it to the table at family get-togethers. He has had to learn to be a lot quicker!

Your Vegan Pie Questions Answered:
Q: What kind of pie crust can be used?
A: When I first started making this pie a number of years ago, I would just purchase a vegan graham cracker crust. More recently, I came up with a delicious chocolate pie crust that is both vegan and oil-free.
Q: What kind of sweetener should I use?
A: I recommend using a dry less refined sweetener like sucanat or Turbinado. The liquid sweeteners like agave will cause the pie not to firm up as much as needed.
Q: Can this be made without tofu?
A: I haven’t tried this recipe, but if you are looking for a chocolate pie without tofu, it might be worth a try. Cauliflower Chocolate Silk Pie from Veggie Quest.
Q: Where can I find non-dairy chocolate chips if I want to use them as a topping?
A: My favorite brand is Enjoy Life, and they can be ordered online and found in many grocery stores.

Can’t wait to try this. When you add PB2, is it 1 Tblsp of PB2 powder or 1 Tblsp of prepared PB2?

I'm looking forward to making this, but I just wanted to let you know that Cathy Fisher of Straight Up Food has a SOS-free pie crust recipe. There's a video of her making it here. https://www.straightupfood.com/blog/2013/11/22/pumpkin-pie/

This turned out great but I had to add about a cup of almond milk to make it smooth and silky and I only made half a recipe. Why would that be?

It really depends on the tofu used. The Chinese refrigerator-type firm tofu is much more dense and may require extra moisture. Whereas, the shelf-stable type Japanese tofu that doesn't require refrigeration is softer and requires no extra liquid. Adding a cup of liquid to only one package of Chinese tofu is still quite a lot, but if that's what it takes to get to the consistency you like, that's just fine. So glad you liked the pie. :)
