4-Ingredient Salted Caramel Fudge (Vegan & Gluten-free)

4-Ingredient Salted Caramel Fudge

Do you feel you overdosed on chocolate over the Easter holiday? No? Me neither, but can you really overdose on chocolate?? Well the answer is yes but it doesn’t count during Easter 😛

Actually, I haven’t had any Easter chocolate or any kind of Easter treats this year. I’vebeen recipe developing meaning I had way too many of my own treats to work my way through that I didn’t see the need to go out and buy an Easter egg and my family know not to get me treats for that exact same reason. Which worked out fine! It just means my chocolate cravings are as strong as ever, and that’s why I’m posting this chocolate covered 4-ingredient salted caramel fudge recipe.

Sweetened with whole dates
Much healthier than regular fudge

And salted caramel! Need I say more????

Tahini and dates are one of the most beautiful, underused and underrated flavour combinations ever! I grew up in Iraq eating both and one of my favourite breakfasts was ‘dibis wa rashi’, which literally translates to ‘date syrup and tahini’. Mix a small amount of both in a small dish and dip bread into it. Sheer heaven!So I wanted to bring my childhood breakfast to life in the form of a dessert.

As you may have noticed, dates feature quite heavily in my recipes. I just love using them as a sweetener so much! I usually go for the cheaper varieties of dates because I can’t afford buying medjool dates every few days and I know not everyone can afford them, but for this recipe I do make an exception. The medjool dates just add the most amazing fudgy texture that I’ve struggled to get with other types of dates.They also give the fudge the most amazing caramel taste.

4-Ingredient Salted Caramel Fudge

Makes – 12 pieces

Ingredients

13 (250g) pitted medjool dates
1/2 cup (120ml) tahini
Pinch of salt
200g dark chocolate, melted

Method

Add the dates, tahini and salt to a food processor and blend until combined (see video above for reference).
Press into a loaf tine (I used a 22×12 cm loaf tin). Freeze for 1-2 hours.
Slice into 12 even pieces and dip into the melted chocolate insuring each piece of fudge is fully covered.
Allow the chocolate to set. Enjoy!
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can freeze the leftovers, just ensure you take them out of the freezer 15-20 minutes before serving.

Wonderful bites! Easy and delicious. I used date paste since I had it on hand.

I can’t think of a more delicious salted caramel treat than this one! So I’m not too big on fudge, but this looks to die for. Will make this as soon as I find the ingredients!

These look amazing! I love date caramel, so much you can do with it.. I also like making it with some coconut cream for extra creaminess 🙂

These are a favorite of all the adults, especially those with dietary restrictions. I recently made them with my sister’s homemade chocolate (cocoa, coconut, honey, salt) and they were amazing. Perfect, feel-good snack. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

Hi! I loved the recipe. However, is there any alternative i can use instead of tahini?

Made these a while ago as I wanted to try the recipe. They have become my go to treat for everything. Just as a treat in the house, taking to have at evenings out. Asked for them as a Christmas present. I have been in to a shop today and asked if I was the one that made them as my partner had been raving about them so definitely a huge hit. Thank you.

This is not fudge…or caramel lol. They look like they might taste good but those are more like energy bites. I just think the title is kind of misleading. No hate it’s your blog, but I’m not sure why people feel the need to convince everyone that if you add nut/seed butter to literal date paste that it will somehow make it caramel. That said I’m sure it’s a good tasting healthy snack for someone who either can’t eat sugar or real caramel or doesn’t wanna cook sugar. I make my dairy free caramel with coconut cream and coconut sugar and it tastes great, but sometimes the super sugary stuff can be too much I agree. Thanks for sharing your recipe, have a good day!

  Hi Liz 🙂 thank you for sharing your opinion. I do think the combination of dates and tahini tastes like fudge, perhaps a Middle Eastern version of it 😉 Maybe if you try it you’ll agree that they taste more like fudge than energy balls.

Hi, this looks amazing and easy. What can I replace the tahini with? I’m just not a fan of it. I might try these in my honeycomb molds to make them smaller and more uniform. I’m a weirdo like that. LOL

  Hi Leslie 🙂 You can use any runny nut butter instead of tahini. The honeycomb moulds may be a little small, but you can give it a go!
