Ingredients

  • 5 ounces chopped dark chocolate
  • 1/4 cup tahini*
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • flaky sea salt for finishing*
  • mini muffin liners

Instructions

  1. Place chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments until melted. (Mine usually takes 1 1/2 minutes total.) Alternately, you can melt your chocolate over a double boiler. Just be careful not to overheat, or else your chocolate will seize up!

  2. Line a mini muffin tin with liners. Spoon about a teaspoon of chocolate into each liner, and using a spoon, push the chocolate up about halfway on all sides. Repeat on all liners. Place muffin tin in the freezer for 5-10 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.

  3. While chocolate cups are in the freezer, make the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the tahini, honey, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Stir together until mixture thickens and all ingredients are incorporated.

  4. Once chocolate has hardened, fill each cup with about 2-3 teaspoons of filling (depending on how much you want). Cover each cup with melted chocolate until the filling is completely covered. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and place in the freezer again until set. Cups will keep in the fridge for up to 1 month!

Recipe Notes

*This is my end-all-be-all favorite tahini. It's incredible, and I haven't found any brand that comes close in terms of flavor and texture.
*This is the flaky sea salt I use and love!
