Ingredients
- 4 tbsp salted butter, plus more for greasing
- 4 oz bittersweet dark chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plus 2 tbsp white sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 cup tahini
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with overlapping foil and grease lightly with butter.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in chocolate chips and cocoa powder until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until slightly thickened. Whisk in the tahini until fully combined.
- Fold in flour just until incorporated. Reserve half the tahini mixture in a separate bowl.
- Mix melted chocolate mixture into the remaining tahini mixture and blend well. Pour into prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Dollop reserved tahini mixture over the top in a grid pattern and swirl with a knife.
- Bake for 28–30 minutes, until edges are set and center is still moist. Cool in pan for 30 minutes, then lift out and cool for another 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Use gluten-free 1-to-1 flour or almond flour for gluten-free or grain-free options.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts for extra crunch.
- Substitute chocolate chips with chopped dark chocolate for a more intense flavor.
- Drizzle maple syrup or date syrup over the top before baking for added sweetness.
- Store with parchment between layers to maintain moisture.
