Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Chocolate and tahini might seem like an unusual pairing, but the combination works wonders!

The deep, rich chocolate flavor is complemented by the smooth, slightly earthy taste of tahini, creating a luscious ice cream that’s both comforting and sophisticated.

This no-churn recipe means you don’t need an ice cream maker, and it’s perfect for those following a dairy-free, plant-based, or vegan lifestyle. The velvety texture and complex flavor profile make it an irresistible treat!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups full-fat coconut milk (or any dairy-free milk)
• 1/2 cup tahini
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolatey goodness)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, tahini, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fully combined.
2. Add Cocoa Powder: Sift the cocoa powder into the mixture to avoid any lumps, and whisk until the chocolate is fully incorporated into the tahini mixture.
3. Incorporate the Chocolate Chips: If you like extra chocolatey bits in your ice cream, fold in the dark chocolate chips at this point. This will give your ice cream a delightful crunch.
4. Freeze: Pour the mixture into an airtight container, spreading it evenly. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
5. Serve: Scoop out your rich, creamy Chocolate Tahini Ice Cream and enjoy the creamy, chocolatey goodness with the subtle flavor of tahini.

Expert Tips for the Recipe:

• Tahini Texture: Make sure your tahini is well mixed before using it, as it can sometimes separate into oil and solids. Stir it well to get a smooth, even texture.
• Sweetener: Adjust the sweetener to your preference. If you like a sweeter ice cream, feel free to add more maple syrup or use a sweeter alternative.
• Cocoa Quality: Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor. The better the cocoa, the richer your ice cream will be.
• Chocolate Chips: Optional, but if you like a bit of crunch, the chocolate chips add a lovely texture. You can also swirl in some melted chocolate for a marble effect!
