What is Tahini?

Tahini is made of three ingredients:  hulled sesame seeds, oil, and sometimes salt.  Hulled sesame seeds are typically toasted then ground and emulsified with oil to create a smooth, creamy seed butter with a pourable consistency. 
 

Ingredients:

Blondies

• 1 bag of Otto’s Naturals Ultimate Cookie Mix

• ½ cup melted butter

• 1 tsp Vanilla

• 1 egg or flax egg

• ½ cup tahini

• 1 tsp Cinnamon

Coffee Caramel

• ½ stick unsalted butter

• 70 grams coconut sugar (about 1/3 cup)

• 1 tbsp maple syrup

• 1 teaspoon instant coffee

• ¼ cup coconut milk

• ¼ tsp fine salt

 Garnish

• Malden Flaky Sea Salt

 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

2. Combine Ultimate Cookie Mix, melted butter, vanilla, egg, and tahini in a bowl.

3. Pour ½ of the mix into a parchment paper-lined 8 x 8, and carefully mold the mix into all the corners of the pan. Remove parchment + mix and place in the freezer for 30 min

4. Pour the other half of the mix into the parchment-lined 8 x 8. Bake for 25 min. Let cool.

5. While the first layer is cooling, heat a pan over medium heat and add butter, sugar, syrup, and instant coffee. Let sit for about 30 seconds and stir until ingredients are combined and begin to form a sticky caramel-like consistency. Add coconut milk and fine salt. Stir for 1 more minute.

6. Remove from heat and pour into a glass measuring cup. Let cool for 2-3 minutes.

7. Pour caramel over the first layer of baked Blondie mix. Remove frozen blondie mix from the freezer and place it on top of the caramel.

8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

9. Remove from the oven and sprinkle on Malden’s flakey sea salt.

10. Let cool. Enjoy.
