CHOCOLATE TAHINI MOUSSE
Dense and very creamy, this dark chocolate mousse has pockets of sesame tahini swirled through it, weaving a nutty flavor into the bittersweet. The candied cacao nibs add a piquant, caramelized crunch. But feel free to skip them, and simply sprinkle plain nibs on top of the mousse. Or substitute another crunchy topping, such as chopped, toasted almonds or walnuts, or sesame brittle.

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.
CHOCOLATE TAHINI SPREAD
Want a virtuous alternative to chocolate hazelnut spread? Tahini-tella is made with dark chocolate and tahini and makes morning toast into a no-guilt treat! I love to spread this on sourdough toast, then top with sliced banana and a sprinkling of cinnamon and sesame seeds.

CHOCOLATE TAHINI PUDDING
Not having an oven in my present home made me come up with a twist to an otherwise good - but plain - chocolate pudding. If you are not a big fan of tahini, reduce the amount by half.

- Place water in a small glass bowl then sprinkle gelatin evenly over the surface. Set aside to bloom.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat heavy cream until it holds soft peaks. Place the bowl along with the whisk attachment (tossed in the bowl) in the refrigerator until the base is ready, at which point you’ll whip it very briefly to medium peaks.
- To make the ganache, place chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until small bubbles appear along the edges of the pan (just before it fully simmers). Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let stand for 2 minutes, then whisk until melted and completely smooth. Set aside to cool while you make the tahini base.
- Fill a small saucepan with a few inches of water, bring to a boil and reduce to a gentle simmer. Set a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, making sure it doesn’t touch the water, then add egg yolks, sugar and salt. Whisk the mixture constantly until the sugar has dissolved, the yolks have lightened, and the mixture reaches 160°F, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin, tahini and vanilla. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pieces of cooked egg, and set aside briefly.

Using electric beaters, beat the cream until fluffy and light. Add in the coconut sugar, pomegranate molasses, vanilla, and salt, and beat until well combined.
- Fill a medium pot an inch high with water. Place the pot on the burner over medium heat and bring the water to a gentle simmer. Place the Green & Black’s chocolate and tahini in a large heat-proof bowl and set over a pot. Let the chocolate melt, stirring often until smooth and melted.
- Divide between four small serving dishes and top with pistachios, pomegranate and chocolate curls. Enjoy!
