For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder. If you prefer a sweeter pudding, increase the sugar to 3/4 cup. A pinch of espresso powder can enhance the chocolate flavor. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or a drizzle of extra tahini for added flair.
Indulge in the decadent depths of this chocolate tahini pudding. The nutty whisper of tahini elevates a classic dessert, creating a sophisticated and surprisingly delightful treat. A no-bake wonder perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until well combined. (2 minutes)
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. (1 minute)
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly with a whisk. (5 minutes)
Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the pudding has thickened significantly and coats the back of a spoon. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes. (3 minutes)
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the tahini and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and the pudding is smooth. (1 minute)
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a single larger bowl. (1 minute)
Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. (1 minute)
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled, before serving. (120 minutes)
