Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x9 inch square pan with parchment paper.
2
|
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.
3
|
Quickly whisk in the eggs and vanilla until fully combined.
4
|
Lastly, fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
5
|
Spread the batter into the prepared square pan and bake for 33-36 minutes.
6
|
Allow to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
7
|
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.
8
|
Remove the bowl from the double boiler, and gently stir in the sifted powdered sugar a little at a time.
9
|
Once all of the powdered sugar is mixed in, allow the frosting to sit for about 10 minutes to thicken.
10
|
Frost the cooled brownies and sprinkle with sesame seeds, as desired. Cut into 16 squares and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🍫
    Whisk Dutch-processed cocoa powder with hot melted chocolate before mixing into the batter to intensify chocolate flavor and eliminate any bitter, raw taste.
  • Toast Your Sesame Seeds 🌱
    Lightly toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to the frosting to unlock deeper, nuttier flavors that complement the tahini beautifully.
  • Underbake for Perfect Fudge 🍰
    Remove brownies when a toothpick inserted in the center shows a few moist crumbs (not clean); carryover heat will finish cooking them to fudgy perfection without overdrying.
  • Stabilize Your Tahini Frosting ✨
    Add a tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot powder to your tahini frosting to prevent it from becoming too oily or separating during storage and spreading.
  • Chill Before Frosting ❄️
    Let cooled brownies sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before frosting to ensure a firm, stable base that won't crack or absorb excess frosting.
