These chocolate tahini fudge bites are perfect when craving a little something sweet. With this recipe, you can make a batch and store them in the freezer for that quick-fix dessert. You can enjoy these fudge-y bites, knowing that all the ingredients are ones that you recognize and that aren’t highly refined and processed. In my opinion, they are the perfect amount of sweet, yet they taste so decadent. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Ingredients:
(makes 30 fudge bites)
For the chocolate layer:
3/4 cup melted coconut oil
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Tahini layer:
1 cup tahini
¼ cup coconut oil
¼ cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
¼ tsp salt
Directions:
To make the chocolate fudge layer, melt coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium low heat until melted. Add maple syrup, vanilla, and cocoa powder. Stir until combined. Remove from heat and pour into an 8x8 baking dish. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
To make the tahini fudge layer, melt coconut oil in a small saucepan. Add tahini, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Stir until combined. Remove from heat and let cool for about 2-3 minutes. Pour over the chocolate layer and return to freezer for 30 minutes.
Remove from freezer and slice into 30 pieces. Store fudge bites in freezer.
Notes:
You can always sub out a different nut or seed butter for the tahini.
You don’t have to include the chocolate layer - you can simplify and keep it a single layer fudge bite!
The chocolate layer is less “fudge-y” than the nut butter layer. I personally like the contrast in texture (it’s almost like an open face peanut butter cup), but if you prefer them to both be soft, add 1 cup of nut/seed butter to the chocolate mixture and reduce the amount of coconut oil and cocoa powder to 1/4 cup each!
