A non-chocolate treat? How am I?? Hehe… well this Vanilla Tahini Fudge is a delicious reason to set that chocolate aside. I love the toasty tahini flavor, the familiar vanilla, and the creamy coconut. With a handful of ingredients, these freeze fudge bars are an easy treat, snack or fat bomb to keep stashed away for … well, any reason!
So let me tell you about these special keto vanilla fat bombs!
About the Ingredients:
Tahini: A good source of methionine which aids in liver detox, vitamin E and a few of the B’s too! THIS ONE is non-gmo, organic and affordable!
Coconut Cream: Is a great dairy free alternative to baking and cooking. Use it like you would heavy cream! You can buy coconut cream like THIS ONE or buy full fat, unsweetened coconut milk, and put it in the fridge for the cream to separate to the top, like THIS ONE.
Coconut Oil: Other than being a great saturated fat, great for cooking, frying and baking… Coconut fat is rich in MCT’s (medium chain triglycerides) which help your body stay in ketosis!
Stevia Glycerite: This type of stevia is my favorite. It’s not as strong or bitter as the dropper variation. It’s sweet and mild. I really like it, you use a little more than the dropper kind, so if you’re using regular liquid stevia you will need to use much less. Perhaps 10-20 drops. This stevia is so mild I measure it in teaspoons. It is becoming my favorite keto sweetener. I use THIS ONE.
Vanilla Bean: Using vanilla extract is A-ok too! I just prefer the rich flavor of vanilla bean scrapings. I slit the bean with a paring knife, unfold the sides open and use the knife to scrape out the sticky, black insides. 2 beans will only yield about 1/2 a tsp but that is enough!! This stuff is GOLD. But expensive, see HERE. So if you go the extract route, I like THIS ONE.
I use a silicone mold to make these keto vanilla fat bombs, like THIS ONE.
Gently Heat. Mix. Mold. Freeze. Done.

Can I substitute heavy cream for the coconut cream?
Cristina says
I think so, I dont use it, so I’m not 100% sure.

The first time I made these, the mixture separated as it cooled. I read in the comments that it was due to heating it too much. I didn’t want to throw away my ingredients, so I reheated it again over low heat just for them to somewhat mix again. (The coconut oil kind of stayed separate. Nonetheless, I poured it into my silicone mold, waited 🙄, and they still tasted delicious. The second time I used a burner that was cooling down from a kettle for tea. The ingredients melted very slowly, the coconut oil taking the longest, but patience paid off. They were so creamy. I’m elated to find a fat bomb that isn’t chocolate. Thank you! (Oh, I used 1/3 teaspoon of stevia glycerite the first time and reduced it to 1/4 teaspoon to lesson the aftertaste. Much better!)

Awesome! Thanks Tammy!
Carol says
Made these fat bombs for the first time today and they will be a go-to dessert from now on! Melted the coconut oil, coconut cream, and tahini on my stove’s lowest setting and like Tammy said, the patience pays off. I didn’t add enough sweetener this time, but a drop of honey on each piece does the trick for me. Thanks again Cristina!

Hi!
Love your site. You are so brave and amazzzzing:)
My mixture of the three fats curdled up when warming….anything I can do to salvage it?!
The tahini was straight out of fridge maybe that’s why?
Thanks much

they got too hot, you’re just heating gently to soften, they don’t need to get hot
