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.
