Tahini hot chocolate & Chocolate tahini pudding (vegan, GF)

October 16, 2015 By travellingoven 2 Comments

Believe it or not, it’s been snowing here for the last three days and our mountain looks like it’s December and not mid October! Remember those beautiful colors I posted in my last autumn inspired post? Well, they are all gone and trees are white now! I mean, I know these are the Alps and the winter starts early here but isn’t this just a little bit too early?!!! And I really, really love snow, just not in October!

I am so still in the autumn mood and not ready to start thinking about Christmas and end of the year (wait, hasn’t that just been like yesterday?!) but all this snow makes it difficult not to think about all that! Anyway, there are many things to look forward to this winter, like lots of snow and another magical winter wonderland, first visit from my family since we moved here, many delicious recipes to shoot and post on the blog, Christmas shopping… Wait, I told you that the snow makes me think about all this, but I have to stop and focus on autumn at least a bit longer. 🙂
Today I’m sharing two easy recipes with two main ingredients: chocolate and tahini! Do you like tahini? I must say that I’ve never even used it in my kitchen until I moved to Turkey last summer and discover that Turkish use it a lot in their cuisine.

UPDATED WITH THESE NEW PHOTOS IN 2020

– ORIGINAL PHOTOS AND POST PUBLISHED IN 2015… ( I always want to keep original photos and posts because this way I can see progress, I can see how far I’ve come in my photography, my work and overall my life. Even with all the struggles and challenges life sometimes throws at us, it’s so rewarding to know that with hard work, love and passion for what you do… you can achieve so much more than you thought it’s possible!)

Back to my beloved TAHINI, basically a paste made of sesame seeds and it’s used a lot in North African, Greek, Iranian, Turkish, and Middle Eastern cuisine.
Tahini is an excellent source of copper, manganese and healthy fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6, also has high levels of calcium and protein. When eaten on its own, it has a bit strong taste so I prefer it mixed with other ingredients, both in sweet and savory versions. For example, it’s so good mixed with honey or the way they do it in Turkey, with sweet grapes molasses and that mixture is called pekmez. It’s so delicious! Other way how I use tahini very often is a dressing for roasted vegetables or steamed broccoli, you basically mix 1 tbsp of tahini, 1 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp olive oil and you get this very delicious and interesting dressing for your vegetables.
But today’s recipes are both sweet so here they are… First one is Tahini hot chocolate, perfect for these colder days!

I haven’t posted anything in a while so wanted t I haven’t posted anything in a while so wanted to say hello! 😊 My Summer has been a combination of precious time with family and friends, swimming in the mornings on ‘my beach’ in Dubrovnik, some interesting shoots, ice creams and watermelon, mum’s delicious food, reading books on my favourite terrace in the world, laughing with my niece and nephew until my stomach hurts from laughter and many other ‘ordinary’ beautiful moments. Summer is still here but I’m slowly getting excited about the next season and all the beauty it brings! ☺️❤️

Before I post on the blog a travel story from my t Before I post on the blog a travel story from my trip to Tuscany and its charming towns, here are some images from one of my favourite, San Quirico d’Orcia. I liked it even more because it was raining and the mood was just so special and beautiful! 
☺️🌧️
This trip was all about smaller towns so we didn’t even go to Florence on this occasion but we visited 12 towns in 5 days and I can’t wait to share with you my favourite photos from the trip! ❤️
