This is one of my personal favorite Holiday pies. My grandma used to make this pie (non-vegan of course) and it was always the first one to disappear over the pumpkin, custard, and apple pies. Of course, there would also be a big tub of Cool Whip that we would add to the top. This recipe is a healthier vegan version of that same pie and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

My 9 year old daughter requested this pie for her birthday! It is SO GOOD!! Thank you for all your good recipes!
Thank you! That makes me so happy 🤗
Chocolate pudding pie came out AMAZING!!!
This pie is fantastically healthy and delicious. You didn’t lie when you said the tofu would go unnoticed! Amazing!
Looks great! How many ounces in the box of tofu?
14.5 oz
New to your show! So happy my husband found your videos. Do you use unsweetened cocoa? Thanks.
Yes
This is amazing!!!!
I made this pie last week. My family loved it. This weekend I asked my husband what dessert he would like me to make and he requested this pie again!! So creamy!
Great to hear! It is a family favorite here.
All I have is extra firm tofu. Can I use it and just add more almond milk?
You can but the texture still might be a bit grainy, not smooth and creamy.
This is DELICIOUS! It’s so rich and you’d never guess it’s WFPB and not the “regular” chocolate pie. My whole family asked that I make this again.
Hi, we have soy allergies. Is there something I can use to substitute tofu?
You could use 2 avocados
I love the taste, and really so easy. But it did not firm up. I put it for one hour in the feezer but that did not work also, yes it was (to) cold but not stiffer. Also the crust was to loose. Jill, what could be happening in this case?
This pie doesn’t get really firm, it stays pretty creamy and I’m not sure about your crust. Sometimes you have to add a couple more dates( if the dates are a little dry) to get the crust to stick together or a tsp of water or so. =)
Thank you Jill, i will sure try it another time because the taste was great!
