Firstly you may be wondering….what is freezer fudge?

Freezer fudge is a new-ish way of making fudge. It has been circulating around the internet for a little while now. Essentially, it has several types of healthy fats, such as coconut butter, coconut oil, a nut/seed butter and some kind of sweetener.  Depending on which ingredients you use will alter the taste/type of fudge.

Rich, smooth, squares of fudge bursting with wholefood goodness. That’s what we have going on here today, my friends.

Count. Me. In!

This walnut freezer fudge is silky smooth, and melts on your tongue. It is rich – as fudge should be – but not overly so. It has a nice flavor that has the teeniest hint of coconut in the background. It’s not cloyingly sweet, like traditional fudge recipes tend to be. Just the right balance of sweet-to-creamy ratio.

There are two more things you should know about this fudge…It’s super-duper easy to make – no candy thermometer, or precision of technique required. It’s actually pretty healthy for you…at least as far as fudge goes.

Instead of needing to melt sugar and butter together in a saucepan, and cooking it to an exact temperature…and then following a precise technique to get just the right texture…you simply melt the fats and mix it all together, and then pop it in the freezer to set up.

The result is a healthier, lighter, yet still fudge-y, way healthier fudge that’s naturally sweetened. You can eat it right out of the freezer, no need to let it thaw, it is the perfect consistency to enjoy.

A win win in my book!

Every time I post a recipe that includes tahini I still get asked the question ‘what is tahini’? It surprises me because it seems to me that tahini is now everywhere.

So many people on social media use it in both sweet and savoury recipes. It’s become somewhat of a trendy ingredient. That part doesn’t surprise me at all – I have been singing its praises for years. I add it to so many of my recipes – it’s by far one of my all-time favourite foodie ingredients to use, especially in desserts.

Tahini, one of the main ingredients in this recipe, is pure sesame seed paste, which adds a slightly bitter, nutty flavor. Combined with the properties of coconut oil, mixing these together allows the tahini to harden up in the freezer, becoming a chewier texture that you can enjoy as dessert or a snack!

I have probably said this about a million times before and I don’t think I will ever stop saying it – tahini and nut butter is the best dessert combination EVER! You will love the toasty tahini flavor and with just a small handful of ingredients, this freezer fudge is an easy treat or snack, to keep stashed away for …well, any reason!

It’s a wonderful thing that 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 oil join forces in these delicious small but mighty treats. No baking or cooking needed, made with wholesome ingredients and so darn simple to make. They are the perfect clean eating dessert!  And, even better, you only need a few ingredients to make them.

This recipe is really the perfect treat for an any time healthy snack or dessert! Or any time you are craving a little something sweet but want to stay on track with your healthy eating plan.

Servings 20

Ingredients

• 1 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1/2 cup tahini (sesame seed butter)
• 1/2 cup cashew (or any other nut) butter
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• Line a 7 x 5-inch loaf pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the fudge out easier for cutting. Set aside.

  Add the tahini, cashew butter, melted coconut oil, honey and vanilla extract to a medium-sized mixing bowl and stir until everything is well combined.

  Stir in the chopped walnuts (reserve a small handful for later), and using a spatula, pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth it out evenly.

  Sprinkle the reserved handful of chopped walnut on top and place the pan into the freezer for 30 minutes or until firm and set.

  Take the pan out and cut into 20 or more smaller squares.

  Store these in the freezer in a sealed container. NOTE – They WILL melt at room temperature quickly so these are best eaten right out of the freezer.
