Chocolate Tahini Cups
Rich dark chocolate cups filled with a creamy tahini center, lightly sweetened with maple syrup and finished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. A simple no bake dessert with a perfect balance of nutty, smooth, and slightly salty flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (340 grams) dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup (240 grams) tahini
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) sea salt
- 1 tablespoon (9 grams) sesame seeds
Instructions
- Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the tahini, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and creamy.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each interval until fully smooth.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate into each liner, spreading slightly up the sides. Chill for 10 minutes until slightly firm.
- Add about 1 teaspoon of the tahini mixture into the center of each cup.
- Top each cup with another tablespoon of melted chocolate, covering the filling completely.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds on top while the chocolate is still slightly soft.
- Refrigerate for 20 minutes, or until fully set and firm to the touch.
- Remove from liners and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Stir the tahini well before measuring to ensure a smooth filling.
- Melt chocolate gently to avoid overheating or seizing.
- Store cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
- Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer texture.
