Frozen Carob-Tahini Balls

So you probably could have guessed me and Jenn are back on the sugar-free train. And you know we can't go on without treats. I made a batch of these after I organized my cupboard, because, well it was all organizey and nice and I wanted to put it to good use. So I used all of my uniquest ingredients to come up with a yummy, sugar-free treat!

I used this Quin Wow's quinoa crisp in this recipe, it is a unique ingredient and is only found in health stores in Ontario and Quebec, unfortunately for you Americans! (although you can order it online on their ordering site). If you can't get your hands on this ingredient, you can use crunchy granola or rice cereal as well.


Crispy candy! Cut in half.
4 tbsp tahini
3-4 tbsp water*
20 drops stevia
1/4 tsp vanilla bean powder (or extract)
3 tbsp carob
6 tbsp oat flour
Tiny pinch of salt
2 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp quinoa crisp (or other crispy grain cereal, optional but so worth it!)

Start by mixing the tahini and water together until thickened, it should be the consistency of a pudding, *depending on the type of tahini you have you may need to add less or more water/tahini to get proper consistency. Mix in stevia, vanilla powder (or extract) and salt, then mix in all other ingredients until you have a dough. Add in sesame seeds and crisp, you can also add in shredded coconut, different seeds, chia seeds. Roll into balls and store in freezer.
