Say hello to my latest obsession . . .

Deliciously simple, seriously healthy, dark chocolate tahini fudge!

It’s fudge, but not as you know it!

This dark chocolate tahini fudge is decadent, rich, deliciously indulgent, subtly sweet with a hint of spice and packed with packed with so much nutritional value that it may just blow your pretty little mind!

It’s all natural made with no refined flours or sugars using a handful of ingredients that I bet you have on hand already.

It comes together in one bowl in a matter or minutes with no blenders, food processors, thermometers or fancy equipment required.

1 bowl, 1 spoon, 5 minutes and you’re golden!

Although, I feel like calling it a fudge is a little misleading . . .

Not only is it no where near as sweet or rich as your traditional fudge. In fact, this dark chocolate tahini fudge is barely sweet at all – it’s deep, dark, deliciously nutty with just a hint of sweetness.

It’s not quite fudge, it’s not quite nut butter, it’s not quite a sauce or a ganache – although, at the same time, it’s kind of a combination of alllll of those deliciously wonderful things with a seriously healthy twist.

This recipe is one that I have been working on for a good few months now – it was inspired by Mary, The Paleo Chef’s – Phat Fudge recipe (which you can find here) that Mary created to   give her clients; “long lasting sustained energy, memory, focus, combat inflammation and act as a natural thermogenic“ in replacement for those weird little gel packs that are laden with all kinds of sugars and weird unpronounceable chemicals and ingredients ( #nothanks ) which I guess is why I called fudge.

I picked up a couple of packets of Phat fudge when I was traveling last year and immediately fell in love with it.

Those of you who follow on Facebook and Instagram, especially my insta-stories, will know that I have it in my early morning matcha every. single. day. I just love, love, love it!

So, when I stumbled across Mary’s recipe I thought it would be fun to play around with come up with my own version (yes, that really is my idea of fun) and after months, and months of testing and tasting and testing and tasting and testing and tasting I finally feel like I nailed it.

You guys . . .

This right here, this little jar of edible awesome-sauce – seriously, OBSESSED!

And, I can testify to the fact that it does, in fact, give you (well me) long lasting, sustained energy, increased memory, improved focus and helps combat inflammation! I, personally, have seen and felt improvements in all of these areas since having it on the regular and I bet you will too!

I mean would you just look at those glorious little golden flecks of turmeric ✨✨✨

Eat it by the spoonful, add it to your coffee, blend it into smoothies, pour it into chocolate moulds or cupcake cases, pop it in the freezer and made legit super-food freezer fudge, these cupcakes with it, heat and drizzle it on cookies, carrot/banana bread (👈🏻 official recipe coming soon  ), avocado toast, baked sweet potatoes . . . driz, driz, drizzalllllll on alllll of the things!

So versatile – so delicious – so nutritious – so much ❤️

Seriously, you guys, I am so head over heels in love with this recipe, it’s deliciously simple, feel good food at it’s finest and I hope you love it as much as I do.

All natural, quick and easy, decadent, rich, subtly sweet, deliciously indulgent super-food super-fudge (aka – awesome-sauce) . . .

1 bowl, 5 minutes – stop what you’re doing, this needs to happen, now!

Make it. Eat it. Love, love, love it!

2 teaspoons of cinnamon

2 teaspoons maca – optional but recommended for a touch of sweetness and hormone balance

2 – Add all remaining ingredients and stir until well combined.
3 – Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly – add a little extra spice, more vanilla/stevia or maple syurp if you feel the need.

4 – Store in a sealed airtight container. No need to refrigerate – and FYI – this little pot of awesomeness should keep well for a good few months – if it lasts that long! (← seriously, good luck with that 😉 )
