Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overhangs on two sides for easy removal later.
- In a medium saucepan, gently melt coconut oil over low heat until it becomes completely liquid and smooth.
- Remove the coconut oil from heat and add tahini, whisking until the mixture is fully combined and creates a uniform texture.
- Sift cocoa powder directly into the tahini-coconut oil mixture to prevent any lumps from forming, stirring continuously until completely incorporated.
- Pour in maple syrup and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to create a glossy, rich chocolate mixture.
- Add a pinch of salt and stir to enhance the depth of flavor and balance the sweetness.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is completely set and firm.
- Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and slice into 16 equal squares.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips
- Choose Quality Ingredients: The flavor of your fudge will greatly depend on the quality of your tahini and cocoa powder. Opt for natural, unsweetened cocoa powder and a smooth, creamy tahini for the best results.
- Avoid Overheating: When melting the coconut oil, keep the heat low to prevent it from burning. You want it to be completely liquid but not bubbling.
- Sift the Cocoa Powder: Sifting the cocoa powder directly into the mixture helps eliminate any lumps, ensuring a smooth and creamy fudge.
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter fudge, feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup according to your taste.
- Chill Thoroughly: Make sure to chill the fudge for at least 2 hours to ensure it sets properly. For a firmer texture, you can chill it overnight.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to add nuts, seeds, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before chilling for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
- Storage Tips: Keep your fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness for up to a week.
