Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 cup Sesame Tahini
  • 6 ounces Dark or Semi-Sweet Chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup or Honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt (plus extra for sprinkling)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

    Gently melt the dark or semi-sweet chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently to ensure a smooth, lump-free texture.

  2. Step 2: Mix Tahini and Sweetener

    In a separate bowl, combine the tahini with maple syrup or honey and vanilla extract until creamy and well blended.

  3. Step 3: Combine Chocolate and Tahini

    Slowly stir the melted chocolate into the tahini mixture until fully incorporated, creating a silky chocolate tahini blend.

  4. Step 4: Pour Into Molds

    Using silicone molds or mini cupcake liners, spoon the chocolate tahini mixture evenly, filling each compartment.

  5. Step 5: Add a Pinch of Sea Salt

    Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each cup to enhance the flavors and add a subtle salty contrast.

  6. Step 6: Chill Until Set

    Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the cups are firm and easily pop out.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Ensure tahini and sweeteners are at room temperature for easier mixing and creamier consistency.
  • Don’t skip the sea salt—it balances sweetness and highlights tahini’s nuttiness.
  • Silicone molds are recommended for easy removal without breaking the cups.
  • Taste the mixture before chilling and adjust sweetness to your preference.
  • Variations include adding chopped nuts, spices like cinnamon or cayenne, or toppings such as chia seeds or salted caramel drizzle.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Freeze in a single layer for longer storage and thaw at room temperature before serving.
  • Warm gently in the microwave for 10-20 seconds if a softer texture is desired, but avoid melting.
