Ingredients
Scale
For the brownies:
- 85g (3 oz) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
- 170g (12 tbsp) unsalted butter
- 32g (2 tbsp) Roland Organic Tahini
- 142g (2/3 cup) brown sugar
- 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 3 eggs, room temp
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 120g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
- 84g (1 cup) dutch process cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
For the chocolate tahini frosting:
- 100g (3.5 oz) bittersweet chocolate
- 128g (1/2 cup) Roland Organic Tahini
- 84g (3/4 cup) powdered sugar, sifted
- Sesame seeds, for sprinkling
Instructions
For the brownies:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x9 inch square pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add the chocolate, butter, tahini, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring with a rubber spatula in between, until everything is fully melted.
- Quickly whisk in the eggs and vanilla until fully combined.
- Lastly, fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
- Spread the batter into the prepared square pan and bake for 33-36 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
For the chocolate tahini frosting:
- In a medium glass bowl, add the chocolate and tahini, and place over a small saucepan with simmering water. Stir often until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Remove the bowl from the double boiler, and gently stir in the sifted powdered sugar a little at a time.
- Once all of the powdered sugar is mixed in, allow the frosting to sit for about 10 minutes to thicken.
- Frost the cooled brownies and sprinkle with sesame seeds, as desired. Cut into 16 squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a high-quality dairy free bittersweet chocolate. I recommend Valrhona or Guittard.
- Be sure to let the frosting set up for about 10 minutes to thicken before spreading on the brownies.
- When cutting the brownies, use a sharp knife and run it under hot water (and wipe clean) before each cut.
