What is Tahini?

Tahini is a paste made out of toasted and grounded sesame seeds; it is used in many traditional cuisines as an ingredient as well as a condiment.

It’s similar to any other nut butter, very creamy, and with a high fat content, which makes it a perfect dairy free substitute of butter.

Above all, tahini gives this fudge a very special and distinct flavor, and a soft consistency.

Ingredients

Add-ons & Substitutions

This tahini freezer fudge is easy to customize with simple toppings and flavor additions.

• Dark chocolate can be used for a richer chocolate flavor.
• Milk chocolate creates a softer and creamier texture.
• Sesame seeds sprinkled on top add crunch and extra tahini flavor.
• Chopped pistachios or almonds add texture to the chocolate fudge.
• A splash of vanilla extract adds warmth and sweetness.
• Sea salt flakes on top create a nice contrast with the chocolate.
• Peanut butter can replace part of the tahini paste for a different flavor combination.
• Crushed cookies or pretzels can be mixed in for extra crunch.

How to Make

Prepare a loaf pan by lining the bottom and sides with parchment paper. Leave a little extra parchment hanging over the edges so the fudge lifts out easily later.

Add the chocolate, tahini paste, and salt into a medium bowl if using the microwave method, or into a heat-safe bowl over a saucepan with low heat.

If using the stovetop, heat everything slowly while stirring often until the chocolate melts completely. Keep the heat low so the chocolate stays smooth and does not burn.

If using the microwave, heat the mixture in 20-second increments, stirring after each one. This is the best way to prevent the chocolate from overheating.

Whisk everything together until completely smooth and glossy. The mixture should look creamy with no streaks remaining from the tahini paste.

Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spoon or spatula. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.

Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. The fudge should feel firm when gently pressed in the center.

Once chilled, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper and place it onto a cutting board. Cut into small squares and serve chilled or slightly softened.
