Medium bowl

Ingredients

½ cup tahini
4-5 tablespoon maple syrup or to taste
3 tablespoon raw cacao powder
water to thin out until desired consistency

Instructions

To a medium bowl, add the tahini, maple syrup, cacao powder and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined (the mixture will be thick and gritty at this point).
Add 3-4 tablespoons of water and whisk again. Keep adding more water small amounts at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. Taste and adjust the flavor to your preferences, then serve over toast, in oatmeal or overnight oats, over ice cream or as a dip for fruits.

Notes

Tahini paste varies widely depending on the brand. If yours is thick like peanut butter, then you will need to add more water to reach a smooth and spreadable consistency. Also, some brands of tahini taste more bitter, which you can adjust by adding more maple syrup if this is your case. If you are new to tahini, I encourage you to try out different brands to find your favorite.
It is important to stir in the jar of tahini before measuring since the oil tends to separate while the container is sitting in the pantry.
Add water, then whisk, until you have a perfect texture. This might take a few minutes! Add only small amounts of water at a time: you can always add more!
