Sweet Potato Chocolate Tahini Fudge
There comes a time in our month, week or day that we long for a bit of indulgence. These cravings can be mild or full blown, and when the latter is evident, it’s great to have a healthy decadent option on hand to satisfy those needs.
Now, I never quite realized how many delicious options there are when making a healthy refined sugar free treat. The internet has exploded with Instagram pictures that’ll make you literally salivate and that’s just the brunt of it!
The amount of creative deliciousness that’s out there is astounding, and this inspires me to no end!
I came up with the decadent Sweet Potato Chocolate Tahini Fudge recipe, partly on my obsession with tahini, love of chocolate and the sheer amazing texture of steamed sweet potato’s. These three marry together perfectly, and the fudgy result is just bliss!
I encourage you to refine from deprivation, and instead honor yourself and your desires and treat yourself to this decadent creation. It’s easy! It’s delicious! It’s nutritious! What more could you want? There’s something so gratifying about making your own food that is truly scrumptious and knowing that it’s doing good for your body!
I was in Auckland over the last weekend, and besides being in awe of the cities beauty, I was so excited about all the delicious healthy food spots! Having coconut water/smoothies/vegetable juices, vegan salads and refined sugar free dessert options at most places is just so amazing.
Granted I didn’t get to see much of it, but what I did see was divine! Any of you out there from Auckland? What are your favorite spots to eat?
This recipe is seriously so easy. Steam, blend and set! It’s that simple! When you decide to try this, please share as I love hearing from you and love seeing your creations! #wellnesswithtaryn @wellnesswithtaryn
