Tahini Coconut Freezer Fudge

The consistency, texture, flavor, the balance of salty/sweet/tahini/chocolate – the whole deal. It works!  These simple fudge is a breeze to make and is totally suitable for snacking but still delicious enough for dessert. I love the toasty tahini flavor, the familiar vanilla, and the creamy coconut.

Healthy fats have become popular with the keto movement. No longer is eating a mouthful of fatty goodness frowned upon. After decades of playing the villain, humans once again embraced healthy, real food fats.

Incredibly healthy foods with fats like tahini and coconut join forces in this soft, salty-sweet fudge recipe. No baking or cooking needed, made with wholesome ingredients and so darn simple to make.

Coconut is one of the ingredients in this recipe as it is considered the most nutritionally complete food source in the world, making it a wonderful addition to your healthy eating.

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 body fat needs to be lost.

Just one scoop of coconut oil delivers a wide-range of healing properties and when you 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.

Tahini contains all the essential amino acids, making it a high quality protein, plus it is rich in lecithin, vitamin E and calcium.

It is easily digestible because its high alkaline mineral content and because of its non-acid nature, tahini is an ideal protein source for people with weak digestive systems, invalids and young children, and is an excellent source of quick energy for active people and athletes.

This chocolate tahini freezer fudge has a luscious texture that melts in your mouth. It’s creamy and rich with just enough sweetness, plus a hint of saltiness. This vegan, refined sugar-free, frozen fudge is a nutrient-dense,satisfying treat.

Hence this healthy fudge is both low-carb and packed with healthy fats and antioxidants. Eating more healthy fats is a great way to help satisfying your sweet cravings without the sugar.

Not only is this fudge insanely delicious and easy to prepare, it also comes with some surprising health benefits. From vitamins and minerals to plenty of healthy fats that support hormone health and neurotransmitter production, these little delights are the perfect addition to any healthy eating plan.

This fudge candy is super rich, uber-decadent - but secretly healthy and guilt-free!  Yup, that means no butter,no white sugar and no sweetened condensed milk… just pure, fudgy, nutty, chocolatey goodness. Its super soft, yet holds its shape long enough for you to pop it into your mouth…  where it will then melt in your mouth.

Just a note though…this is “freezer fudge” which means the ideal texture is achieved right out of the freezer. Especially in warm weather, it will start melting pretty quickly so it’s not something to pack for a picnic.

Whip up a batch of this super healthy fudge in 10 minutes, freeze to harden, and store leftovers in the freezer so they are ready at a moment's notice. Whether it's for a pre- or post-workout energy boost, or to satisfy that 3 o'clock or after dinner snack craving, this recipe is the golden ticket.

Servings 20

Ingredients

• 1 13.5 oz can coconut cream, full fat (solid part only) *see note below
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup tahini (sesame seed butter), well stirred
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

Instructions

• Note: Place the can of coconut cream or milk in the fridge or freezer for at least 1-2 hours before making these bars to allow coconut cream to separate.

  Line an 8 x 8” baking pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting.

  Open chilled can and scoop out the cream that has separated and set hardon the top. Save the remaining coconut water to use in a smoothie, drink, or discard.

  In a medium sized saucepan place coconut cream, tahini, coconut oil, and honey and over a very low heat melt these ingredients. Keep stirring until melted and well combined. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips and stir until melted.

  Lastly add vanilla extract and stir again.

  Scoop out mixture into the lined baking dish and using a spatula or backof a spoon spread out evenly. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top to getthe best flavor!

  Cover with plastic wrap and let it set in the freezer until solid - about 2 hours. Cut into 20 or more squares.

  Serve frozen, or place the fudge squares in an airtight container in the freezer.
