Healthy Tahini Freezer Fudge

This healthy Tahini Freezer Fudge is made with just a few wholesome ingredients and has a melt-in-your-mouth cookie dough flavor!

Who doesn’t like fudge?! It’s the epitome of dessert – a rich chocolate fudge slice, or basically anything made with the cacao bean, right?! But today’s recipe doesn’t contain any cocoa powder or is even full-on chocolate.

Instead, it’s a different type of fudge, an easy recipe (and the perfect healthy treat!) made of whole foods ingredients like creamy tahini, honey and coconut oil.

Tahini, the main ingredient, is pure sesame seed paste, which adds a slightly bitter, nutty flavor. Combined with the sweetness of honey and the properties of coconut oil, mixing these together allows the fudge to harden up in the freezer, becoming a chewier texture that you can enjoy as dessert!

This recipe is the perfect treat if you love coconut like I do. I’m obsessed with coconuts, they are my favorite ingredient in desserts and healthy snacks.

The world is going coconuts. Following the popularity of coconut water, a broad spectrum of foods derived from the humble coconut are available. It now comes in a variety of forms from water to milk, cream, sugar, butter, oil, flour, dried and shredded allowing for a variety of creative ways to add coconut to a healthy diet.

Coconut contains a unique type of medium chain saturated fat called lauric acid that research shows raises HDL or "good" cholesterol levels, which lowers overall heart disease risk.

As a plant food, coconuts also contain disease-fighting phytochemicals or antioxidants. Research suggests that coconut products helps boost metabolism which is helpful if excess bodyfat needs to be lost.

Just one scoop of coconut oil delivers a wide-range of healing properties. Produced in its most natural state, coconut oil will benefit you, your children and your pets. I put some into my dogs dinner regularly.

Pair coconut with the other nutritional powerhouse tahini and you have a match made in heaven. The little sesame seeds that tahini is made from are certainly not small fry when it comes to packing a nutritional punch.

Tahini (aka liquid gold )is made from toasted ground hulled sesame seeds. It's smooth, nutty and rich,with a slightly bitter finish and a mouth feel similar to almond or peanut butter.
