Add Tahini For Even Creamier Hot Chocolate With A Nutty Flavor Twist
BY CLAIRE REDDEN
A dollop of tahini in your hot cocoa does more than enhance the flavor by adding both depth and contrast; it's also an efficient thickening agent.
Tahini has a consistency that can transform your hot chocolate from creamy, to creamier, all without the need to add any dairy products.
Take your hot chocolate recipe, stir a tablespoon or two of tahini into the pot, and taste as you go. You’ll know when you've achieved the ideal texture and flavor balance.
A bit of tahini goes a long way for your cocoa, giving it an extra layer of rich, nutty indulgence. Good boozy pairings include peanut butter whiskey, rum, and Kahlua.
