Ingredients
Fudge
- 6 tbsp tahini*
- 3 tbsp raw cacao powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Dusting
- another 1-2 tsp raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
Instructions
- Process all ingredients in a food processor until the mixture combines and becomes more or less uniform and begins to lump together. Note: don't over mix as the oils will begin to separate too much out of the mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into a 5" springform pan (or a small parchment-lined tupperware container of a similar size). Press the mixture down to pack it in with the back of a spoon as evenly as possible. Cover with another piece of parchment paper and lightly press down with a flat-bottomed object (like the bottom of a measuring cup, etc.) to pack it down flatly at the top.
- Freeze for 4-5 hours or overnight. Remove from pan, cut into pieces, dust with additional cacao powder (use a small sieve for even dusting), and enjoy! Keep leftovers frozen until ready to eat (they will begin to melt at room temperature...)
Notes
*Note: the tahini I used is a typical North American variety. I find authentic Middle Eastern tahini is prepared a little differently and is typically much more runny. The kind I used is prepared similar to nut & seed butters and is a bit thicker in consistency.
