Instructions
1
Line a small 10x10cm tin or tray with parchment paper.
2
In a bowl, stir the tahini until smooth and glossy, loosening any separated oil.
3
Melt the coconut oil gently (double-boiler or low heat) and whisk it into the tahini along with the allulose, salt and vanilla extract until the mixture is uniform and slightly thickened.
4
Fold in the toasted sesame seeds and ground flaxseed, distributing them evenly through the paste.
5
Spread the mixture into the lined tin, pressing it flat and level with the back of a spoon to about 1cm thickness.
6
Chill in the fridge for at least 90 minutes, until firm enough to hold a clean cut.
7
Lift out using the parchment, and cut into 2 even pieces with a sharp knife.
8
Store pieces layered between parchment in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
