Serves: 16 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overhangs on two sides for easy removal later.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tahini, cocoa powder, maple syrup, peppermint extract, and sea salt. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and well-incorporated, with no dry cocoa powder visible.
- Use a spatula to transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with the back of the spatula.
- Place the pan in the freezer for approximately 30-45 minutes, or until the fudge is completely firm and set.
- Once frozen, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the fudge into 16 equal squares, wiping the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.
- Store the fudge pieces in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Let sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving for optimal texture.
Tips
- Use high-quality tahini for the smoothest texture - look for brands with a creamy, uniform consistency.
- Whisk ingredients thoroughly to prevent cocoa powder clumps, ensuring a silky-smooth fudge.
- For extra indulgence, consider sprinkling crushed peppermint candies or dark chocolate chips on top before freezing.
- Make sure to line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting.
- Let the fudge sit at room temperature for just 2-3 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.
