You just can’t go wrong with hot chocolate and this one has a little twist! It’s sweetened with dates and gets a creamy texture and subtle flavour from tahini. These additions to the cocoa powder and oat milk makes this rendition of everyone’s favourite winter treat a slightly thicker consistency and it’s oh so yummy. Give it a go – I hope you enjoy!

Hi Mailin,
When I read the title of this recipe I knew I was gonna love it (I have been quite obsessed with tahini lately…). It’s really delicious and comforting! Thanks a lot for the recipe. (I was too lazy to clean the blender so I used my recently acquired date syrup.)
I discovered your Youtube channel a while ago but never took the time to leave a message. I really love the aesthetic of your videos (and your tableware!!). They are really relaxing to watch and always full of inspiration.
Good Bye from France 🙂
hi alia,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe and well done substituting with date syrup, that works just as well 🙂
thank you for tuning in on youtube! wishing you a lovely sunday x
