So you may have noticed that this choc-tahini sauce/spread seems to find its way into a lot of our recipes… particularly our pancakes or as an accompaniment to some of our sweet treats.
As such, we thought it would be a good idea to share our famous chocolate tahini sauce recipe. We alternate it slightly depending on what we are serving it with… For example, for our ‘Jaffa’ hotcakes we add a tablespoon of lucuma powder and orange juice/zest to create a creamy orange-chocolate flavour.
Another great thing about this is that it can also be served as a spread on your choice of toast (simply by adding less water to make it thicker).
