“This tahini hot chocolate is going to blow your mind! The warming, rich hot chocolate has tahini stirred through it, giving it a deep, nutty flavour. I also lined the rim of the mugs with sesame sugar for an extra nutty aroma and flavour." – Khanya Mzongwana

Ingredients

Method
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 4 cups full-cream milk
  • 1 t sea salt
  • 2 T cocoa powder
  • 2 T tahini
  • 2 slabs Lindt milk chocolate, roughly chopped
  • 2 T brown sugar
  • sesame seeds, to serve
  • marshmallows, to serve

1. Make a simple syrup with the sugar and water and set aside.

2. Gently heat the milk in a saucepan. Add the salt. Mix the cocoa powder with ¼ cup boiling water to make a paste, whisk in the tahini and add the mixture to the milk. Add the chocolate and brown sugar and whisk until fully incorporated.

3. Toast the sesame seeds, crush lightly in a pestle and mortar and transfer to a plate. Dip the rims of the cups in the simple syrup, then dip them in the sesame seeds. Pour the hot chocolate into the cups. Toast the marshmallows on the stove or in the oven, place on top of the hot chocolate and serve.
