Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pie crust of choice
  • ¾ cup chocolate melted
  • 1 cup vegan cream cheese
  • ½ cup silken tofu
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons soy cream or plant based milk of choice
  • Pinch salt

Equipment

  • Pie pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • mixing spoon
  • measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • blender or food processor

Method
 

  1. Make the pie crust. Make the pie crust of your choice and allow it to cool. Set aside until ready to use.
  2. Make the filling. Into a high-speed blender or a food processor, combine the melted chocolate, cream cheese, silken tofu, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, vegan cream, and salt. Blend on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, making sure to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. The filling will be very smooth. Transfer to the prepared pie crust and smooth the top.
  3. Chill. Place the pie in the fridge, uncovered, for a minimum of 4 hours or up to overnight.
  4. Top with whipped cream and serve. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to chill again to make slicing easier. Slice with a sharp knife, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

*Nutrition for filling only, not including pie crust.
  • How to Store 
    • Fridge: The pie will set up uncovered in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Once the whipped cream has been added on top, I like to store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The whipped cream can sometimes take on the flavors of the fridge, which is why I suggest storing it in a container.
    • Freezer: Store the French silk pie without the whipped cream topping in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Take it out of the freezer and into the fridge for a few hours before serving. Just note that freezing may alter the texture of the pie filling since it contains tofu and tofu can change in texture after freezing.
  • Variations 
    • Change the type of pie crust! Use either a wheat based crust, a graham cracker crust, or a chocolate cookie crust. You can even serve these in individual glasses for more of a chocolate mousse/creme.
    • Mocha flavored: Add 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the ingredients. 
    • Peppermint Pie: Add a few drops of peppermint oil to the ingredients in the blender. 
    • Nutella Silk Pie: Add 2 tablespoons of Nutella to the ingredients in the blender. You may not need the vegan creamer/milk when adding this so use your best judgement.
