Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 2 tablespoons sugar (or maple syrup)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt
• Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
• Extra tahini, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat until it’s just about to simmer. Do not let it boil.
2. Add the cocoa powder, tahini, sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the milk.
3. Whisk continuously until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Continue to heat for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring it’s hot but not boiling.
5. Pour the tahini hot chocolate into two mugs.
6. Top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of tahini, if desired.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors.

Helpful Tips

• For a richer flavor: Use dark cocoa powder or add a pinch of cinnamon.
• Dairy-free options: Substitute whole milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
• Sweeter variety: Increase the sugar or use sweetened cocoa powder.

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, allow the tahini hot chocolate to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you don’t have tahini on hand, try using almond butter or peanut butter for a different yet equally delightful twist. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
