Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Tahini
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Chopped pistachios (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, combine the tahini and coconut oil. Stir constantly until the coconut oil is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar into the saucepan to prevent lumps. Stir the mixture until smooth and fully incorporated, ensuring there are no dry spots.
Add the vanilla extract and salt, stirring to evenly distribute throughout the fudge mixture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
If desired, sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top, gently pressing them into the fudge mixture to ensure they stick.
Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares or desired serving sizes.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
