Chocolate Tahini Spread

Want a virtuous alternative to chocolate hazelnut spread? Tahini-tella is made with dark chocolate and tahini and makes morning toast into a no-guilt treat! I love to spread this on sourdough toast, then top with sliced banana and a sprinkling of cinnamon and sesame seeds.

Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)
• 3 ½ tablespoons honey
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
• ⅔ cup tahini

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place chocolate and olive oil in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2

Combine tahini, honey, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in melted chocolate mixture until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate spread until set and spreadable, about 15 minutes.
