Chocolate tahini treats are a really good blend of rich dark chocolate and creamy tahini. And here's the thing: they offer a flavor that's both familiar and intriguingly unique. You know, tahini—it's a staple in Middle Eastern kitchens, right? Usually found in hummus or drizzled over roasted veggies. But here, it’s paired with smooth melted chocolate, creating a simple, no-bake dessert. Pretty simple.

Just mix everything together, pour it into a pan, and let the fridge do the work. Easy, right? Honey adds a sweet touch, while a hint of chili pepper gives these chocolate tahini desserts a subtle kick. Perfect for those who enjoy a bit of spice in their sweets. Once chilled and sliced into cubes, a dusting of cocoa powder on top makes them look and taste extra rich. Seriously good. These treats are all about simplicity with a twist—ideal for anyone into tahini chocolate recipes or looking for something beyond the usual brownies or cookies.

Letting these cubes chill makes them tender yet easy to bite. Each piece bursting with chocolate tahini treats flavor. Some folks like to experiment with spices like cinnamon or cardamom for a new twist. Pretty much. Or sprinkle a bit of sea salt to contrast the sweetness. And listen, since there’s no flour or eggs, these bites fit right in with gluten-free chocolate desserts and vegan options, especially if you use a plant-based sweetener. They're perfect for parties, late-night snacks, or even as a midday pick-me-up. Because they’re just the right size to grab and go.

Compared to a flourless chocolate tahini cake, these are even easier and quicker to make. For sure. Plus, you can adapt the recipe based on what’s in your pantry. Moist and rich—which is awesome—they stand out at any dessert table, and the combination of Middle Eastern ingredients with classic chocolate really makes these treats a crowd-pleaser for all sorts of occasions.

How to prepare Chocolate and tahini treats

To prepare the chocolate and tahini treats, first chop the dark chocolate 1 and melt it in a double boiler with the tahini 2 and honey 3. Stir until all the chocolate is melted and you have a homogeneous mixture.

Add the chili powder 4 and stir again 5. Pour everything into an 8x6 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper 6. Level it and let it set in the refrigerator until it becomes solid; it will take about 2 hours.

After the setting time, cut the slab into regular cubes 7, then roll them in cocoa powder 8. Your chocolate and tahini treats are ready to be served 9!

Storage

Chocolate and tahini treats can be stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to 2 weeks.

Tip

If you wish, you can replace the dark chocolate with white chocolate for a sweeter and creamier result.

In addition to chili, you can add cinnamon, ginger, or cardamom for an exotic touch!
