Line a 3 x 7 loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Add the tahini, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla to a medium-sized mixing bowl and stir really well until everything is well combined.
Stir in the chopped walnuts ( leave a handful out for later ) and using a spatula, pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Transfer the pan to the freezer for five minutes.
Take the pan out of the freezer and sprinkle with sea salt and the reserved handful of chopped walnuts. Place the pan back into the freezer for another half hour.
Take the pan out and cut into 24 squares.
Store these in the freezer in a sealed container. NOTE - They WILL melt at room temperature quickly so these are best eaten right out of the freezer.

Notes
What is tahini? It is a condiment made from toasted and ground sesame seeds and is popular in middle eastern recipes. The seed is hulled and roasted, then it is processed into the most delightful and versatile sauce. You can buy tahini sauce in the same aisle as peanut butter in most grocery stores. You can also buy an organic brand of tahini from both Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.
Is tahini keto? Yes! Tahini is low in carbohydrates. Each square of this fudge has less than 5 grams of carbs.
TIP! You can use any size loaf pan but keep in mind the larger the pan the thinner your fudge will be. I use a standard 7 x 3 loaf pan.
TIP! - Cut these even smaller for bite-sized treats. A great tip if you are counting calories.
Store this fudge in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Fancy a chocolate tahini fudge? Easy peasy. Simply sprinkle some chocolate chips in the mixture or on top before freezing. Be sure to use dark chocolate chips if you want to keep this recipe dairy-free.
