Salted Tahini Fudge

Tahini Fudge by myheartbeets.com

This raw salted tahini fudge is sooooo creamy. It’s sweet, salty and made with a handful of wholesome ingredients.

You should know that this is a “freezer fudge” recipe so keep it in the freezer until you’re ready to eat it. Whenever a chocolate craving strikes, sneak over to the freezer and grab a piece. Why do you have to be sneaky about it? So no one notices… and that way, you can have the fudge allll to yourself 😉

I love how easy it is to make a batch of freezer fudge – you just mix everything in a bowl, pour it into a pan and then freeze it until solid. Another thing I love about this nut-free fudge: it’s so filling that I can usually only eat 1-2 small pieces at a time.

There are 6 ingredients in this treat – but I’m still listing it under the “5-ingredients or less” section on my blog because salt really shouldn’t count as full ingredient. Although it’s obviously necessary considering the name of this recipe is salted tahini fudge. Oh well. Other than coarse sea salt, you’ll also need tahini (which is just sesame seed butter), coconut oil, cacao powder, honey, and vanilla extract. Grab these ingredients and make some fudge!

If you’re digging the combination of tahini + chocolate, then make sure you try my salty sesame bark next!

  1. I just put tahini into fudge the other day! The recipe that I used was too sweet for my taste, so I thought the tahini would balance it out and it was good! I will be sure to try your version soon. Love that it uses common pantry ingredients.

  5. Hi Ashley. This recipe sounds great. I just have a quick question about the coconut oil. Do I measure before I melt it or do I measure 4 Tbsp after I melt it? This is a question that plagues me in other recipes. Perhaps you can finally put my confusion to rest! Thanks.

    • Hi Cindy! Thanks 🙂 And good question! Here’s my understanding: when a recipe says “4 tablespoons melted coconut oil” that means you have to first melt the coconut oil and then measure. When a recipe says “4 tablespoons coconut oil, melted” that means you measure it while it’s at room temperature and THEN melt it. I know it’s confusing… but I hope that helps!

  6. I’ve been following your blog for a while but this is the first recipe I’ve made. It turned out so well! I used paper bon-bon cups in mini-muffin tins and got a little over 2 dozen.

    They have such an unusual/interesting taste, almost a little smoky, and the next time I make these (there will be a next time!) I’d like to add some extra flavours to play off this smokiness. I’m curious as to your ideas on how to play up this aspect — maybe with some chai tea flavours? A pinch of cardamom?

    Thank you!

  9. I grew up eating marble halva, so this recipe already looks yum. I do have a question though: I’ve got a family member who can’t eat coconut oil. Can grassfed butter be substituted for it? Thanks!

  13. Dear Ashley! Thank you very much for the recipe! This is amazingly tasty! I, myself, on keto, so could enjoy a little piece at the time, but my husband, who is not, he ate the most of it and asked to make more!

  14. This is an excellent recipe. Tahini by itself is too flavorless in my opinion but when used this way, I absolutely love it and I will be doing this recipe again. I like my chocolate a little darker so I used more cacao powder too, and I substituted agave because I am vegan. Have you tried this recipe with other nut/seed butters or with other superfood powders (such as açai, wheatgrass, etc)? I think it would be cool to try that.

  15. love this! i ate so much, but my only question-did anyone feed it to their kids 5 and under? i fed some to my one year old son, and he got large bumps on his legs, arms, torso. my 3 year old dtr got a couple, too. im told sesame is a common allergen? who knew!

  16. This recipe is AWESOME! I made it as written last week and my husband and I loved it. Just made it again using peppermint extract instead of vanilla (and omitting the salt) and it also amazing. Thanks for the great recipe!
