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.

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.

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.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🍫Whisk Dutch-processed cocoa powder with hot melted butter before mixing into batter to intensify chocolate flavor and eliminate any grittiness for silkier brownies.
- Balance Tahini Ratios ⚖️Use tahini in both batter and frosting, but keep the batter ratio at 1:4 (tahini to butter) to maintain fudgy texture while letting the frosting showcase tahini's nutty richness.
- Toast Sesame Seeds First 🌱Lightly toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before incorporating them to unlock deeper, more complex flavors that complement the chocolate-tahini combination.
- Don't Overbake for Fudgy Texture 🕐Remove brownies when a toothpick inserted in the center still shows a few moist crumbs (not fully clean), as they continue cooking while cooling and tahini adds moisture that keeps them chewy.
- Chill Frosting Before Spreading ❄️Refrigerate the tahini frosting for 15-20 minutes until it reaches a spreadable consistency, preventing it from melting into the warm brownies and ensuring clean, elegant frosting lines.
