Tahini Fudge

This smooth and creamy tahini fudge is a wonderful low carb, healthy treat. It’s so good to enjoy a decadent dessert that’s actually good for you!

Tahini Fudge

I decided to make this tahini fudge because I miss halvah, a middle eastern candy made from tahini, and sugar syrup – lots of it. In fact, in a store bought halvah, the first ingredient is usually sugar, not sesame. 😮

Does this tahini fudge taste like halva?

Since this tahini fudge contains no sugar and is sweetened with just a few drops of stevia, it does not have the texture of halvah. It is naturally soft, and needs to be kept in the freezer. But it is wonderful – a rich, creamy, decadent dessert that you can feel good about eating.

Is this tahini fudge healthy?

I believe it is. Sesame is a good source of antioxidants. Recent research indicates that butter is pretty much harmless. And stevia is probably harmless as well.

How to serve tahini fudge?

Take a square out of the freezer just a couple of minutes before you want to enjoy it, and allow it to soften a bit before you savor it. Sometimes I place a square of tahini fudge on a square of Lindt 90% chocolate and enjoy them together. It’s a wonderful combination!

How long can you store homemade tahini fudge?

Since you should keep it in the freezer, you can store it for a long period of time – about three months. After you cut it into squares, place the squares in a freezer bags or in an airtight container, and store in your freezer.

Notes

*I use stevia glycerite in this recipe to keep it low carb. I like stevia glycerite because it lacks the bitter aftertaste typical to other stevia products. I believe that stevia is very safe, but in case you want to use another sweetener, here's a conversion chart. Please keep in mind that I only tested this recipe with stevia.
