Ingredients
- 1 bag vegan chocolate chips 12 ounces
- 1 package silken tofu 14 ounces, drained
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 vegan chocolate crust
- crushed candy canes (optional) for garnish
Instructions
- Put vegan chocolate chips in the microwave for 45 seconds and mix until smooth. If the chocolate is still lumpy, place back in the microwave and heat for 20 more seconds, mix until smooth. Repeat until the vegan chocolate is completely smooth.
- Put melted vegan chocolate, tofu, vanilla, and peppermint in a blender or food processor and blend until creamy.
- Add tofu chocolate mixture to the crust, spread evenly, and place in the refrigerator for an hour. After it solidifies, it can be kept in the refrigerator.
- Right before serving garnish with crushed candy canes, optional.

Notes
- Keep chilled: The filling for this silken tofu chocolate pie will soften the longer it sits at room temperature, so it’s best kept chilled until serving.
- Experiment with vegan chocolate type: Peppermint pairs well with all types of vegan chocolate. So feel free to experiment with milk vs. semi-sweet vs. bittersweet.
- To crush the candy canes: Either use a knife (for more control over the size of the pieces and less ‘dust’ ) or place them in a bag and use a rolling pin or another heavy object (like a saucepan) to lightly crush them.
- Use high-quality vegan chocolate: It’s one of the primary flavors in this vegan chocolate peppermint pie, so make sure it’s good. When it comes to dark (bittersweet) chocolate, often the brands that aren't marketed specifically vegan are still naturally vegan and higher quality.
