  • 1 cup Tahini A creamy nutty base; almond or peanut butter can be swapped in for variety.
  • 1 cup Pistachios They add a delightful crunch; feel free to substitute with almonds if desired.
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup Sweeten the filling naturally; honey or agave can also be alternatives.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Filling: Blend tahini and pistachios in a food processor until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes). Add maple syrup if sweeter filling is desired.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Melt dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth (2-4 minutes).
  3. Mold Chocolate Cups: Pour a spoonful of melted chocolate into each liner, covering bottoms and sides. Let set for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Add Filling: Spoon pistachio tahini mixture into chocolate cups, filling nearly to the top.
  5. Top with Chocolate: Pour more melted chocolate over the filling, sealing well. Ensure an even, smooth top layer.
  6. Chill to Set: Place cups in refrigerator for at least 1 hour until firm to touch.
