Ingredients
-
1 cup tahini (smooth, unsweetened)
-
1 cup dark chocolate chips (or milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter taste)
-
2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for a non-vegan version)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt (to taste)
-
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, for extra crunch – walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts work well)
Instructions
-
Melt the Chocolate:
Begin by melting the dark chocolate chips. You can do this in a heatproof bowl in the microwave, using 30-second intervals and stirring between each, or use a double boiler on the stove. Stir the chocolate until it’s completely smooth and melted. -
Prepare the Fudge Base:
While the chocolate is melting, take a medium mixing bowl and add the tahini, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. -
Combine the Chocolate and Tahini:
Once your chocolate is fully melted, pour it into the tahini mixture. Stir everything together until both components are thoroughly combined, resulting in a smooth, silky fudge mixture. -
Add Nuts (Optional):
If you want some added texture and flavor, fold in chopped nuts of your choice (walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts work beautifully). This step is optional, but it can elevate the fudge with a delightful crunch. -
Set the Fudge:
Line a small square or rectangular baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the fudge mixture into the pan and spread it out evenly to fill the edges. -
Chill the Fudge:
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours or until it is firm to the touch. This is crucial for achieving the perfect fudge texture. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can refrigerate it for longer. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the fudge has set, remove it from the fridge, cut it into small squares or bars, and enjoy! If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
