Description
These chocolate tahini cups are a rich, no-bake treat featuring creamy tahini filling encased in smooth dark chocolate. Balanced in sweetness and slightly nutty, they’re an indulgent yet wholesome dessert perfect for snacking or sharing.
Ingredients
- 8.5 oz (240–250 g) dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) raw tahini paste
- 4 tablespoons (40 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup
- Coarse salt, optional
Instructions
- Line a muffin tin with silicone or paper cupcake liners and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix tahini, powdered sugar, and honey or maple syrup until smooth.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chopped chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into the bottom of each cupcake mold and spread to cover the base.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of the tahini mixture on top of the chocolate layer.
- Top each with another spoonful of melted chocolate, spreading to cover the tahini completely. Sprinkle with coarse salt if desired.
- Place the tin in the freezer and chill for 1 to 2 hours, or until set.
- Once firm, remove cups from molds and store as needed. Enjoy cold or chilled.
Notes
- Use maple syrup and dairy-free chocolate for a vegan version.
- Add cinnamon or cardamom for a spiced twist.
- Stir chopped nuts or seeds into the tahini layer for added texture.
- Semi-sweet or milk chocolate can be used for a sweeter cup.
- Silicone molds make removal easier, but paper liners work too.
