Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- 0.5 cup erythritol sweetener
- 2 tablespoons granulated stevia
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the sesame seeds evenly on the prepared baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they turn a light golden brown. Stir halfway through to ensure even toasting. Remove from the oven and let cool.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the erythritol sweetener and butter. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture begins to bubble, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the granulated stevia to the saucepan and stir well until completely dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Add the toasted sesame seeds to the sweetener mixture and mix until the seeds are thoroughly coated.
Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides. Pour the sesame mixture into the pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Allow the sesame candy to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to set completely for at least 1 hour.
Once set, lift the candy out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into small squares or bars with a sharp knife.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
