To make this mint and matcha fudge, you’ll need just five ingredients (most of which are superfoods): tahini, cacao butter, pure maple syrup, matcha powder, and a few drops of pure peppermint oil (or extract if you don’t have oil). You’ll add them all to a double boiler and whisk together over medium-low heat until you have a smooth, creamy mixture. Then, you’ll pour it into a small, 3×5-inch pan or container (I use an airtight ziploc container) and refrigerate until firm.
Once it’s set, flip the container over, give it a forceful tap to release, and slice into bite-sized pieces of fudge.
This fudge is perfectly smooth, creamy, rich, and matcha-kissed. It also offers an amazing cooling effect thanks to the peppermint. Summertime fudge at its finest.
