Ingredients

• 1 cup Tahini
• 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Chopped pistachios (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, combine the tahini and coconut oil. Stir constantly until the coconut oil is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar into the saucepan to prevent lumps. Stir the mixture until smooth and fully incorporated, ensuring there are no dry spots.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and salt, stirring to evenly distribute throughout the fudge mixture.

Step 5

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top, gently pressing them into the fudge mixture to ensure they stick.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.

Step 8

Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares or desired serving sizes.

Step 9

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
