Chocolate Tahini Ice Pops Recipes

Steps:

• Make the pops: Add the dark and semi-sweet chocolate and coconut oil to medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between, until melted and smooth.
• Whisk in the tahini and coconut milk. Carefully pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for at least 4 hours, until solid.
• Make the tahini caramel: In a small saucepan, whisk together the maple syrup and tahini. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbling and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Pour into a heatproof liquid measuring cup and let cool (the caramel will continue to thicken.
• Remove the chocolate tahini pops from the molds and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pouring from the measuring cup, drizzle the tahini caramel quickly back and forth over the pops. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the drizzle. Any leftover caramel can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Serve the pops immediately, or return to the freezer for a few minutes for the drizzle to harden. Store the pops in the freezer, covered, for up to 1 month.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• To a blender add half the milk, half the evaporated milk, the avocado, banana, honey, cocoa and vanilla. Blend until well combined and smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining milk and evaporated milk and blend for 10 seconds until well incorporated. Drizzle each popsicle mold with 1 teaspoon of chocolate syrup. Divide the milk mixture among the molds, filling each up 1/4-inch from the top. Cover the molds with the lid (insert ice-pop sticks if needed) and freeze overnight. To unmold, dip the mold into warm water for 30 seconds to loosen the ice pops.

Steps:

• Make the cream for the chocolate mousse: Using an electric mixer fitted with a whisk or beaters, combine 3/4 cup cream, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt. Whip to medium-firm peaks, then transfer whipped cream to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to finish the mousse in Step 6.
• Prepare the tahini mousse: In the same mixer bowl (no need to wipe it out), combine confectioners' sugar, tahini, crème fraîche, vanilla extract and salt. Beat everything together until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly beat in cream until the tahini mousse thickens. It will be thinner than whipped cream but should still mound on a spoon. Refrigerate while you finish preparing chocolate mousse.
• Place chocolate in a small bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each burst. Heat an inch of water in a medium pot over medium-high until simmering. (Alternatively, put chocolate into a large heatproof bowl and place it over the simmering water. Stir chocolate occasionally with a silicone spatula until it melts.)
• Remove bowl of melted chocolate from the pot. Pour in remaining 1/4 cup cream, and let sit for 1 minute. Whisk until smooth.
• Using a rubber spatula, fold in 1/3 of the prepared whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, then fold in remaining whipped cream.
• Gently fold tahini mousse into chocolate mousse, leaving very visible streaks. Place mixture in serving bowls or ramekins, and chill until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
• As mousse sets, make the candied cacao nibs (if using): Heat oven to 325 degrees, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small pot, bring sugar and 1/4 cup/60 milliliters water to a boil, and simmer, stirring, until sugar has completely melted, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cacao nibs.
• Spread nibs in an even layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake until dry and crunchy, about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool completely.
• Spoon nibs, if using, on top of mousse, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and serve.

Steps:

• Combine soy milk, blackberries, tahini, vanilla extract, and stevia in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour into 4 ice pop molds and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Steps:

• Place chocolate and olive oil in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine tahini, honey, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in melted chocolate mixture until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate spread until set and spreadable, about 15 minutes.
