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.

These look delicious! Thank you for making somethIng sweet with stevia rather than swerve.
Yup! I prefer Stevia Glycerate too… but I find a lot of folks dont like stevia… although I do think this kind is really good and doesn’t taste like the other stevia.
1ST ATTEMPT A FAIL. i MISSED THE NOTE REGARDING THE sTEVIA gLYCERATE BEING MILD AND JUST MEASURED OUT 1 TSP OF REGULAR. sTEVIA IS NOT REALLY MY TASTE IN GENERAL BUT IS THE ONLY SWEETENER i AM ALLOWED IN MY DIET AT THE MOMENT. aLSO, i SUSPECT MY TAHINI WAS OLD AS THERE WAS A BITTER FLAVOUR.
i WILL 100% TRY AGAIN! tHE TEXTURE WAS FANTASTIC.
I wAS CONSIDERING USING A CASHEW BUTTER IN THE MEANTIME UNTIL I CAN GET MY HANDS ON SOME FRESH TAHINI. tHOUGHTS?
(kEYBOARD STUCK IN ALL CAPS… i BLAME THE TODDLER)
oh man! that’s nuts! Yes, cashew butter should work great! lol todddlers!
Super curious to try this…my imagination is having a hard time predicting the flavor!! So curious! Tahini and coconut together sound lovely!
It tastes like HALVA! So yum!
