Ingredients

⅓ cup Tahini (runny)
2 tablespoon Milk
3 ½ tablespoon Maple syrup Grade A, refined sugar-free (use 4 tablespoon for a sweeter spread with a runnier consistency)
3 tablespoon Cacao powder

Instructions

Mix the tahini, milk and maple syrup in a medium bowl, until combined.
Using a sieve, sift the cacao powder into the wet ingredients, then using a silicone or rubber spatula (and spoon), gently mix the cacao powder into the wet ingredients for a few minutes, until combined.
Use the silicone spatula to scrape and fold the cacao powder into the wet ingredients, including cacao powder from the sides of the bowl (see Notes).
Once fully mixed you will get a smooth, creamy chocolate spread, which you can serve and enjoy or store in the fridge for later!

Notes

Tahini – stir the tahini before using and make sure it is runny before measuring. When measuring the tahini, pour into the cup measure.
Sift the cacao powder – this prevents any lumps and helps make a smooth, velvety chocolate spread.
Maple syrup - adjust sweetness according to preference, for a sweeter spread add another ½ tablespoon maple syrup and stir to combine.
Use a silicone/rubber spatula to mix ingredients – I highly recommend using a silicone or rubber spatula to mix the cacao powder with the wet ingredients. This is because the cacao powder can often stick to the sides of the bowl and can be left unmixed. The silicone or rubber spatula will help you scrape off any cacao powder from the sides of the bowls to fully incorporate the cacao powder into the wet ingredients, giving you a smooth and creamy chocolate spread. If you notice some cacao powder on the sides of the bowl, use your spatula to spread the wet ingredients over the sides of the bowl – this will help the ingredients fully mix together.
Mix slowly after sifting in the cacao powder – this will help the cacao powder from messing your worktop!
Storage – you can store the chocolate spread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
