Ingredients

Scale

Pie Filling

1 bag vegan chocolate chips (12 ounces)
1 package silken tofu (14 ounces, drained)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Crust

1 vegan chocolate crust (store-bought or homemade)

Garnish (Optional)

Crushed candy canes

Instructions

Melt Chocolate: Place the vegan chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 45 seconds. Stir well and continue heating in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
Blend Filling: Add the melted chocolate, silken tofu (drained), vanilla extract, and peppermint extract to a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely creamy and smooth, ensuring all ingredients are fully combined.
Assemble Pie: Pour the tofu chocolate mixture into the vegan chocolate crust, spreading it evenly to cover the base and edges. Smooth the top with a spatula for a clean finish.
Chill: Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow it to set and firm up. Once solidified, keep the pie refrigerated until ready to serve.
Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, optionally garnish the top of the pie with crushed candy canes to add a festive peppermint crunch and visual appeal.

Notes

Ensure the silken tofu is well drained to avoid excess moisture in the pie filling.
Use a good quality vegan chocolate crust for best flavor; it can be store-bought or homemade.
If you prefer a stronger peppermint flavor, adjust the peppermint extract to taste carefully as it can be overpowering.
This pie is best served chilled and should be kept refrigerated to maintain texture.
For a smoother texture, blend the filling a bit longer until silky consistent.
Crushed candy canes are optional but add a festive touch and a delightful texture contrast.
