Dark Chocolate & Tahini Sea Salt Fudge Bites
- Prep time: 10 mins
- Freeze time: 45 mins
- Makes: 12–14 fudge bites
Ingredients
- 100g high-quality 85% dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 120g smooth, runny sesame tahini (well-stirred)
- 2 tbsp raw local honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp cold-pressed coconut oil
- ½ tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
- 1 good pinch of fine sea salt (stirred into the fudge)
- Flaky sea salt (Maldon) for finishing
Method
- Melt Low & Slow: Set a heatproof glass bowl over a small saucepan of gently simmering water (ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water). Add the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil. Stir gently until completely melted, glossy, and smooth.
- Whisk in the Tahini: Remove the bowl from the heat. Whisk in the smooth tahini, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla bean paste, and a fine pinch of sea salt. The mixture will instantly thicken into a luxurious, velvety chocolate batter.
- Set in the Pan: Line a small loaf tin or square container with baking parchment. Pour the rich fudge mixture into the tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill & Flake: Transfer the tin to the freezer for at least 45 minutes until firm to the touch. Just before slicing, scatter generously with flaky Maldon sea salt.
- Slice & Store: Use a sharp knife to slice into bite sized squares. Keep them stored in an airtight container directly in the freezer, they retain a heavenly, chewy truffle texture that melts the second it hits your tongue.
Why It Helps You Sleep
- Magnesium Magic: 85% dark chocolate delivers a hit of magnesium to calm tight muscles and relax the nervous system right before bed.
