Tahini Mocha
This sounds weird? This sounds weird. Yes, indeed. DH's sceptical comment when I was cooking this up was "interesting". Actually a serious fit of PMS gave birth to this concoction - I craved sesame halva and chocolate and couldn't decide what I really wanted, so the idea popped up to combine it and add some coffee for a little wake-up.kick. I admit that the result amazed me. After bleding the mixture at high speed it came out of the blender like a smooth pudding which I could eat with a spoon. It definitely killed my cravings and left me full and content and proud of myself :lol: I used rice milk and rice syrup and 90 % chocolate but will post milk, honey and dark chocolate. Feel free to use what you like best and maybe increase the sweetener to taste. For the tahini I used roasted tahini. Next time I'll try white tahini.

A delicious mocha enriched with chocolate and TAHINI! I never used tahini in a beverage but this is great ingredients that really merits more appreciation. I prepared the coffee with my Italian oldtimer coffee machine, warmed the ingredients simply in the microwave and stirred!Reply
