Tahini is surprisingly rich in taste which makes it a great base for this healthy, fudgy vegan slice. There’s a little bit of sweetness from the dates, plus a few other bits whizzed up into a delicious snack. Get creative and add your favourite nuts and seeds. I keep itin the freezer but do leave it on the bench for five minutes before eating to bring out the creaminess. Once you have made this, you are sure to double the recipe the next time!
